Dr Nichola Harmer

Teaching interests

I teach on a range of core Geography modules, including Stage One Introduction to Practising Geography (GGX1202), the immersive Stage One Sustainable Futures module, and the Stage Two Ireland field trip. I am a personal tutor across the undergraduate stages and at Stage One and Stage Two for our Geography with International Relations students. In 2016/2017 I lead a new Stage Four Political Geography module (GGH3206) on the changes and challenges to the modern state.  I supervise undergraduate dissertations in Human Geography and have supervised masters level dissertations in International Relations and Sustainable Environmental Management. I am currently Director of Studies for one PhD student researching identity narratives in river borderlands and I am second supervisor for a second PhD student who is examining the impacts of fracking on rural communities in the UK.  In 2015/2016 I taught on the MSc Sustainability and Environmental Management: Integrating Science, Law, Economics and Society.
