Dr Pepe Romanillos

I am a cultural and historical geographer passionate about the significance that ideas, theory and philosophy hold for geographical study. My research interests encompass literary and visual geographies (from cartography to film), the spatial dimensions of death and mourning, and the history and philosophy of geographical thought.  

Over the last few years, I have been working on a project that re-engages with ancient and premodern geographical thought. This has resulted in my first book Speculative Earth: Geophilosophy and Ancient Geographical Thought, now available with Edinburgh University Press. Speculative Earth represents a cross-disciplinary work drawing upon geography, European philosophy, cartography, classics and cultural history. Its ambition is to re-animate the geographical archive and to establish new kinds of inter-disciplinary dialogue between geography and classical studies.
