George Burdon joined the School of Science at UNSW Canberra in February 2022. George has a BSc in Geography from the University of Bristol; an MSc in Human Geography: Society & Space, also from the University of Bristol; and a PhD in Human Geography from UNSW. George has also studied at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and has previously held a post of Research Assistant at the Australian National University.
George is a human geographer whose work is informed by a sustained engagement with continental philosophy and social theory as well as an empirical interest in sound art, music and broader questions of sonic experience. As an early career researcher, George's emerging research record has made contributions to debates around concepts of affect, desire, atmosphere, media and subjectivity through drawing upon the philosophies of Baruch Spinoza, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and others. These contributions have been articulated through analyses of ambient music, sound art projects and experimental composition. George's research has appeared in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, cultural geographies, and Social & Cultural Geography.
