Spijker - Urban and Economic Geography
My previous education intrigued me to study the complex relationship between people and the urban environment beyond numerical data.
Hi, my name is Spijker, I am a 22-year-old master's student Urban and Economic Geography living in 鈥榮-Hertogenbosch. My previous education in Applied Geo Information Science focused mainly on spatial analysis, which intrigued me to study the complex relationship between people and the urban environment beyond numerical data.
Over the past half year, I have explored the role of public spaces in people's daily lives, engaged in critical discussions about diversity and equity in cities, and emphasised the importance of the right to the city, to name a few things.
Currently, I am writing my thesis on the position of the urban environment in a new epoch called the Symbiocene, the possible successor of the Anthropocene. Once I complete my master's degree, I am eager to explore my position as an urban geographer within a ministry, an NGO, or pursue a career in research. However, I鈥檓 first going to enjoy a break abroad!
