Social Geography

[sociolog86]

I'm a second year MA student in sociology wondering if anyone knows of any PhD programs where I might study topics in social geography. I'm interested in qualitative methods to study things like space and identity and fitness geographies. Specific topcs I'm exploring are home remodeling as it relates to identity or the fitness experiences of people who've undergone weight loss surgery (including emotions about going to gyms and fitness spaces).

Any ideas for programs or faculty I might look into? I'm contemplating programs in sociology and geography mostly.

Thanks!
