UPDATE: Geographical Imaginations is busy putting together episodes for the next few months.  As always, we are engaged with a wide range of subject matter.  Join us for one of our radio expeditions into the everything and nothing.  Stay tuned in March and April for explorations of the Safari in Serengeti National Park and Dar es Salaam’s architectural history.  As part of our summer reading series (May/June) we read and place into context J.K. Wright’s 1946 Association of American Geographers’ Presidential Address with his introduction to the concept of geosophy.  Later in the summer we will broadcast a 2-part interview with Yi Fu Tuan, a giant in 20^th-century academic geography and a huge influence on this show.

Check out all previous radio expeditions here.

In “La Arquitecta” we explore the resonance of spaces and (other) feminist perspectives on urban design with German-born architect Chris Heidrich.  The show returns to Cuba (see EPISODE 32) to raise questions about who designs the city.  Heidrich discusses her current project, Female Architects in the Urban Renewal of Old Havana, and reveals some of her own process in interpreting spaces.  EPISODE THIRTY SIX marks the end of Season 3 and the close, for now, of the Mitteleuropa explorations.  This episode will broadcast first from Radio Fabrik on October 28th at 7:06 PM Salzburg time (1:06 PM New York).  Photo by Mileyra Pavel.
