Elena Hubner and Leonie Tuitjer participated at the 17th meeting of the „Neue Kulturgeographie“ in Bonn (30.1.-2.1.2020) earlier this month. Elena Hubner presented first results of her PhD dissertation. Her presentation discussed the need to appreciate places of memory as a result of creative processes. She emphasized that the socio-cultural and socio-political dimensions that influence such creative processes need to find greater attention than it was prevsiously the case within geographic research. Leonie Tuitjer presented a paper about infrastructures as spaces of learning. She argued that a critical concept of learning within geographic infrastructural research can enhance this tradition by acknolwdging the socio-cultural processes of inclusion and exclusion manifest in many infrastructural provisions. The presentation was based on a co-authored paper with Dr. Anna Lisa Müller (University of Osnabrück) which is currently under preperation.
