About

This Researching Everyday Geographies module at The Open University UK  equips you with the tools required to undertake an extended piece of independent research on how geographical relations shape a dimension of your everyday life.

Overview

The Researching Everyday Geographies module at The Open University UK  uses diverse scholarship on everyday geographies to walk you through the key strands of the research process and help you to identify and develop your research topic.

You'll then have dedicated time to further progress, write and submit a 7000-word dissertation on that topic. Throughout, you're offered the conceptual and practical resources to recognise and address the relations of power that shape the production of academic knowledge.

Support from your tutor

You’ll receive help and support from your assigned tutor throughout the module. They’ll help you by:

  • marking your assignments and providing detailed feedback to help you improve.
  • providing individual guidance, whether that’s for general study skills or specific module content.
  • facilitating online discussions between your fellow students, in the dedicated module forums.

Your tutor will also run online tutorials throughout the module. Where possible, recordings of online tutorials will be made available. While these tutorials won’t be compulsory for you to complete the module, you’re strongly encouraged to take part. If you want to participate, we recommend use of a headset with a microphone.
