Technologies and Spatial Theory

This course explores the relationships between space and technology. Home, work, airports, supermarkets, what gives these spaces meaning? How does the use of technologies within these spaces change how we experience them? How do the spaces we inhabit change how we use technologies? What has the pandemic changed about our relationship to space and technology? All these questions and more make up the Technologies and Spacial Theory course. Delivered through a mixture of academic theory, oral histories and student-led empirical research, this course aims to help students think more about the world around them (quite literally) and interrogate the devices we use and their role in our lives.
