Center for Place, Culture, and Politics

The Center for Place, Culture, and Politics (CPCP) is an academic research group that explores how physical spaces, cultural practices, and political systems influence one another. It studies how places shape identities, social interactions, and power dynamics, often addressing issues like urban development, community identity, and social justice. The center encourages interdisciplinary research, combining insights from geography, anthropology, political science, and related fields. Its goal is to better understand how environment and culture impact political conflicts and societal changes, helping inform policies and promote more equitable urban and social development.
