Expanded Course Description
| The goal of this course is to provide students with an introduction to human contribution to the geographical diversity of the earth. The course offers an overview of the basic demographic, cultural, economic, and political patterns that have shaped the modern world, as well as the ways in which humans have used and transformed their environments.
Specific topics addressed include colonialism and global power dynamics urban growth and economic change, human migration and settlement, globalization and its environmental impacts, territory and geopolitical conflict, and the role of space, place, and identity--including race, ethnicity,sexuality, gender, and religion--in shaping geographical diversity. Students will learn to characterize and critically analyze the changing interconnections among people, places, and things; through lectures, readings, discussion activities, and an original research project. Ultimately, the course seeks to provide students with an understanding of their place in a geographically diverse world.
