About us

The Department conducts research in the discipline of socio-economic geography and spatial management, focusing on two branches of human geography: political geography (including the geography of national and religious minorities, the geography of borders and borderlands, the territorial transformation of states, and conflict-prone areas); and historical geography (in particular, the morphology and morphogenesis of cities and the historical spatial forms of rural settlement, the protection of cultural heritage, the geographical and historical determinants of inter-ethnic tensions, the historical and political determinants of changes in national borders, relic borders, and the material anthropogenic traces of disappearing settlements).

The Department offers a master's degree in Political, Historical, and Regional Studies, as well as undergraduate and graduate seminars related to the research topics conducted by the Department's team.
