Course Description: Fall 2008

Human Geography: People, Places and Change is an exceptional course that functions as a map to the cultural landscape of our time. In the best tradition of the discipline of geography itself, this course provides a world perspective, helping students understand the lay of the land in terms of broad social patterns that shape our lives.

One of the great strengths of this course is that it combines economic and cultural geography. All geographers are interested in the interrelationships between humans and their natural environment. Within that context, economic geographers focus on the mode of production and wealth creation, while cultural geographers study the differences between one place and another in terms of the customs, mores, and institutions that create and maintain human societies. In Human Geography, these two types of geography are combined in holistic ways by focusing on multifaceted contemporary problems.
