Om Mirek Dymitrow

Academic degrees
o PhD in Human Geography, University of Gothenburg
o Master of Science with a major in Geography, University of Gothenburg
o Bachelor of Science with a major in Geography, University of Gothenburg

Primary research areas
My research covers critical, historical, political, social, and cultural geography, at the intersection of STS, social psychology and philosophy of science. My expertise is in conceptualization and application of 'rural-urban thinking’, and its material effects in various European contexts. Current research interests include: spatial conflicts from a socio-cultural perspective, the problematic of knowledge production, as well as the dynamics of social deprivation and unsustainable behaviors.
