This course introduces the geographical sub-discipline of human geography. Framed by the spatial dimensions of social science and drawing from critical, qualitative, and quantitative approaches, the course analyzes a range of global and local processes within human geography. Topics include, but are not limited to, culture, migration, resource use, geopolitics, religious diversity, colonization, demographics, urbanization, sustainability, agricultural systems and globalization. Students will utilize key theoretical and conceptual tools to explore these subject areas through the main sub-fields of economic, cultural and political geography, as well as in an introduction to human-environment interactions.
