An urban and political geographer, Professor Papadopoulos studies the contestation of urban space in Europe and the United States. His published work on urban morphology includes a significant monograph on the urban impacts of European integration in the restructuring of Brussels' downtown, a collection of articles on the urban impacts of market reform and political liberalization in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and more recently, works on the urban dynamics of Chicago’s LGBT communities, and on the triangulation of music, landscape, and politics in Istanbul.
Dr. Papadopoulos political geographic research entangles ‘the urban’ in works on state and national identity formations and the geopolitics of Southeastern Europe. His co-authored book Hellenic Statecraft: Territory, Identity Geopolitics is under contract with Routledge. On-going work also includes the co-edited volume (with Heidi J Nast) Spatial Futures: Difference and the Post-Anthropocene (under contract with Palgrave).
