In her inaugural lecture (in German), Professor Tabea Bork-Hüffer described the increasing dynamics with which spaces and societies change in the context of urbanisation and digitisation. Nowadays, transient spaces and societies are the norm, says the geographer, who gave her inaugural lecture at the University of Innsbruck on 9 October 2019.
Bork-Hüffer transferred from the National University of Singapore to the University of Innsbruck in 2017 as an interim professor and eventually was appointed as Full Professor in 2018. In the meantime, she established her Research Group Transient Spaces and Societies, which collaboratively works on theoretical advances and methodological innovation for researching the intersections of urbanisation, mobilities and digitisation. In this video blog featuring her inaugural lecture you can learn more about the topics Tabea Bork-Hüffer and her research Group are working on (in German).
