At the University of Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment, we undertake world-class interdisciplinary research to address societal and environmental problems, advance knowledge and develop better public policy to drive positive change for the planet.
Our academic programmes equip students with the skills they’ll need to seek solutions for humanity’s challenges through our research-led teaching which encompasses human and physical geography, and environmental studies.

Amazing. I am BCMer who graduated around 5 years ago. Oxford is great place for study and BCM is an amazing course. The lecturers are the best in this planet and the students are very smart.
they will never compare to other, more functional countries. The UK and US know their neoliberal approach is bs, but they would rather kill off the poor and middle class than do what's right.
I find it very difficult to understand what Dorling is saying. There's an annoying echo and even turning up the volume doesn't help. Please Danny make your talks more accessible.
This is revelatory, even after having watched many of Prof. Harvey's lectures all the way through multiple times. He is absolutely brilliant and his explanation of economics has literally changed my life and how I see the world.
"Debt is anti-value; it's a foreclosure on the future. If the debt is not redeemed then the value is lost. Capital is mobilizing anti-value right now to promote the necessity of producing value." In other words, as far as I can tell...the more debt people have the harder they have to work to pay off that debt, and the harder they work the more they produce. Even if their wages are high they have to work harder to pay off their debts, and debt is being normalized through credit cards and the like so that people don't see it as "bad" to have debt, especially not with the credit system giving you a score based on how you handle debt; if you don't have any history of debt then your score is worse than if you do, and if you have a lot of debt that you pay off your score is better than if you have very little debt that you pay off, and with a lower score (a zero because of no debt is worse than a bad credit rating) it's harder to participate in the economy via loans for cars, houses, businesses etc. Without debt you don't have a stockmarket (which is people paying money for the right to be given more money later), you don't have people who make fortunes off of stock market gambling becoming super rich, you don't have banks investing your savings account money giving your account a % return, and on and on. Debt has become so ubiquitous and normal that it really does "promote the necessity of producing value" by driving the expansion of value production in order to keep the system from collapsing. This was a great lecture. Definitely worth saving for later.
Congratulations 🎊 Johanna ! Great presentation and passionately done. Am Angeline, from Kitui kenya 🇰🇪, we met...Happy to see u make great presentation

I have completed my graduation in Political Science. Can i apply for a Master in Biodiversity course. My motivation to study this subject comes from reading National Geographic Magazine, BBC future, live science ,Scientific American.
In my opinion, there should be introduced an undergraduate and/or master's degree purely in Wildlife Conservation and Climate Change at oxford university. I was disappointed with the university's lack of environmentally-themed undergraduate courses, given our planet's state. I hope this changes by the time I do my Postgraduate degree!
There is NO climate crisis there’s a an over population crisis in africa and the developing world and causing mass migration into western nations. Maybe you should sterilise yourself and remain in your own shanty town instead of coming to the west and overburdening the environment in the U.K.?
"UK Govt has a historic responsibility for causing the global climate crisis" How ?? Coming from a South American teenager - do tell us how the total deforestation of South America is progressing ?
Hoping to be at oxford in 2024 if God spears life to do this masters degree. I've done so much research on conservation degrees and by far Oxford seems like the best one for me.
I am BCMer and graduate around 5 years ago. Oxford is a wonderful university and BCM course is amazing. The lecturers are the best in this planet and the students are super smart.
I like Prof. Dorling's to collate the data, then present it in a meaningful way, without wagging the finger or attacking people for the way they voted. He leaves that to do amongst ourselves, but my god, this comments thread is absolutely riddled with cretins that feel attacked, and can't help themselves in throwing a hissy fit.
All it tells you is the majority of white working class British people are FED UP with unlimited immigration ....look at London ....no longer a English city
Your image of Britain on your map at 14.50 is actually an image of a Scottish Warrior looking back on the thieves that stole Scotland, as he was returning her home.
Hii I am from West bengal as a Post Graduate Geography student in Vidyasagar University. ... I am really interested to working like this team to developing my state .☺
Hard to credit that this gentleman is an Oxford academic? I do wonder what overseas parents contemplating sending their loin fruit to study at that most prestigious institution might make of his reasoning? Echos of Chomsky I suspect. Copious fact accumulation but somehow the conclusions are minus that essential ingredient, common sense.
This proves why our universities are a problem and our students come out hard left politically, luckily they seem to grow out of it after a few years in the real world.
Are they not? What about the thousands of army children? What about the thousands of people born to British parents whilst they were working abroad? Are they not British?
Just another academic out of touch who believes he is right and the majority is wrong, he like a lot of them was staggered the uneducated general public didn’t agree with them.
Eh, that's not what he's saying, He's actually saying it wasn't the "uneducated" who voted leave,. It was the majority of the ABC1 Middle Class who voted leave and it's not being talked about in the media.
Really every member country should have gone full Monty & joined the Euro from the launch. Although with hindsight maybe not Greece. Thatcher individualized Britain 40 years ago. Britain is an embarrassment internationally. All sentimentality for orange marmalade, real bacon , the Sunday Post and Galaxy chocolate aside, I´m glad I left 30 years ago. Maybe Britain should join the United States ?
we won one world cup , the germans have won 3 nations cups , three world cups and every time we play germany our small minded supporters, mainly southern english, sing ' two world wars and one world cup. It embarrasses me no end , and others no doubt, and like many others we don't watch our national team play any more.
So, the people in Britten are as stupid to vote leave. It cost a lot of time tot get normal again. Throw the conservatives out of parlement. They lie frequentl of prosperity. What a mistake all the time. Chris Stroo Holland
