Prof. Dr. Kathrin Hörschelmann

Professorin für Kulturgeographie

Forschungsgruppenleiterin AG Kulturgeographie

Lehr- und Forschungsbereiche

Meine Forschungs- und Lehrinteressen konzentrieren sich auf geografische Aspekte von Vielfalt, Identität, Staatsbürgerschaft und (Un-)Sicherheit in einer vernetzten und ungleichen Welt. Ich beschäftige mich insbesondere mit Alltagserfahrungen und geografischen Vorstellungen von (Un-)Sicherheit und Gewalt und wie diese mit geopolitischer (Un-)Sicherheit zusammenhängen. In diesem Arbeitsbereich konzentriere ich mich besonders auf die vielfältigen Erfahrungen junger Menschen, ihre (geo)politischen Agenturen und die sozialräumlichen und kulturellen Identitäten von Jugendlichen.

Weitere Themen meiner Forschung und Lehre sind Geographien des Lebenslaufs, kulturgeographische Fragen der Migration, feministische Geographien, Partizipation in der Nachhaltigkeitsgovernance und die soziokulturelle Transformation ehemals staatssozialistischer Staaten.

Neben Fachmodulen und Projektseminaren in diesen Bereichen biete ich auch Exkursionen zur Kulturlandschaft und Romantisierung des Rheins ("Mythos Rhein") sowie zur translokalen Ortsbildung in England ("Translokales England") an.
