Beyond the Map

What are the political consequences of the Fire Age? What does dust tell us about the modern world? Who should be driving international development? Is green consumerism really leading to a cleaner world? Why is it OK to tell women to stay off the streets at night to increase safety, but not men? These are some of the questions we will be exploring in the first few episodes of Beyond the Map – a podcast that looks beyond the obvious to understand the hidden geographies that make our world.Your host is Jo Sharp, a professor of geography and Scotland’s Geographer Royal.
