Biography

I am a doctor of philosophy in the field of regional studies and a docent of social geography. My current tasks are monitoring and promoting the regional, social and university community impacts of university activities.

Research interests

I am a human geographer interested in understanding the lives of diverse human beings. A human being lives in what can be called a hermeneutical space. She/he conceptualizes, perceives and lives in space in her/his own specific way. The hermeneutical space consists of a mixture of literal/geographical and figurative/abstract spaces. To understand the life of human beings it is essential to analyse this mixture. Understanding the lives of human beings gives us a justifiable ground to make recommendations on the development of communities, regions and societies.
