Season 2
Welcome to season 2 of the KEG podcast, which will guide you as a listener through the exciting field of current human geography research. In the same spirit as the first season of the podcast, there will be in-depth interviews with researchers from the Department of Human Geography and Economic Geography at Lund University, the department that also produces and is behind the podcast. As we are an international institution, the episodes will be in English, and sometimes Swedish, depending on which language the interviewed researcher prefers.
The new host for the podcast's second season is human ecologist Sanna Händén-Svensson.
