Globalisation is changing our world as we know it; it’s transforming economies, societies, and the environment. But whilst geographers have long studied its effects in global cities - there’s been little research on the concept of ‘a global countryside’ and the impacts of globalisation on rural spaces.

In this podcast we meet Professor Michael Wood from Aberystwyth University and discuss how migration, trade, and tourism has shaped the rural landscape in England and Wales.
