Good evening.
Welcome to LSE for this hybrid event.
My name is Claire Mercer.
I'm Professor of Human Geography in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
I'm very pleased to be here to welcome Professor Joe Sharp to our online audience and our audience here in the auditorium today for the fourth lecture in our series organised in memory of our colleague Professor Sylvia Chant.
Joe Sharp is Professor of Geography at the University of St Andrews.
Joe is an internationally leading human geographer whose work has been at the forefront of feminist and political geography for the last three decades.
Her research has been concerned with post-colonialism, health and critical geopolitics.
Her early work extended what's considered to be the geopolitical beyond the formal spheres of statecraft to include popular culture in the everyday and she's continued this through her work,
her post-colonial work on subaltern geopolitics.
She's the author of numerous works including most recently the book Geographies of Post-Colonialism,
Spaces of Power and Representation, the second edition of which was published by SAGE in 2022.
In 2022, Joe was named Geographer Royal for Scotland.
In today's lecture, Joe will draw on two research collaborations,
one with Bedouin women and local academics in Egypt's south-eastern desert and another with an interdisciplinary and international one health project in northern Tanzania.
Reflecting on these experiences,
Joe is going to explore the assumptions we make about people's abilities and desires to act as agents of change.
