Colin Fuchs

I am pursuing a Collaborative Doctoral Award with The Open University and the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). My research examines the relational geographies of knowledge production through the unpublished archive of geographer Doreen Massey (1944-2016). Massey’s theoretical work on space, place and power helped enliven and transform debates across the discipline and well beyond, bringing many into the conversation over the difference that geography makes. I am supervised by Ben Newman, Colin Lorne and George Revill at the OU, and Sarah Evans at the RGS.

I hold a BSc in Geography from the University of Bern, Switzerland and an MSc in Human Geography from Lund University in Sweden. I am the Postgraduate Representative of the History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group, an Associate Fellow of the RGS and a member of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography. I also act as one of the OU Representatives for the OOC DTP’s Student Liaison Group.
