The Department of Geography runs weekly lunchtime seminars involving external speakers showcasing new and exciting developments in research in the fields of Geography and Planning. All staff and students are invited to attend. This week’s speaker is Dr Andy Newing from the University of Leeds. Dr Newing’s research is primarily focused in the applied investigation of spatial patterns of consumer behaviour including electricity consumption, retail demand estimation and grocery shopping patterns. The seminar will explore new applications for understanding retail geographies through explicitly analysing the spatial dimension. Dr Newing will present how geographers are helping retail firms make better decisions, providing a good example of one potential route students could take following graduation.
