Professor Sarah Hall researches spatial implications of profound macro economic change at the School of Geography, University of Nottingham
The School of Geography strives for excellence in all of its activities, from teaching to research. Geography is a broad subject, and geography at the University of Nottingham is highly distinctive in that it has internationally-recognised strengths across the whole discipline, spreading from the arts and humanities, through the social and natural sciences to engineering and technology.
Professor Sarah Hall
My research focuses on the uneven spatial implications of profound macro economic change including Brexit, the changing economic position of China internationally and the rise of finance led capitalism. I am particularly interested in advancing cultural political economy approaches that bring a focus on social and cultural processes into closer dialogue with the political economy of global finance.
Supported by funding from the ESRC, the British Academy, The Leverhulme Trust and the Nuffield Foundation, the majority of my research centres on financial services in the UK, London’s international financial district and its relations with Europe, China and North America. My research has been covered my leading media outlets including The Financial Times, the BBC, The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph and Wired magazine.
I am currently a Senior Fellow with The UK in a Changing Europe where I’m focusing on Brexit, the UK’s financial services sector and the changing nature of the UK’s economic geography .I was appointed an Editor of Geoforum in 2013 and held a British Academy Mid Career Fellowship (2015-2017). I was elected a fellow of The Academy of Social Sciences in 2020.
