People, Places, and Environments
The central theme, which will be used to integrate the
diverse topics to be covered, is DEVELOPMENT. Throughout the semester we will maintain an
issue oriented examination of each topic.
As a result, we should develop a spatial (and global) perspective on pressing
issues such as environmental degradation and justice, resource depletion,
multi-nationalism and ethnic discord, development and poverty, population
growth and pressure, technological change and innovation, and globalization as
a process. The intent is to provide an
informative and interesting educational experience. With successful conclusion of this course,
students will be able to:
a) express understanding of
fundamental geographic concepts such as scale, region, site, situation and
spatial interaction;
b) illustrate the use of key
geographic methodologies including the use of maps and statistics;
c) know the uses of contemporary
geographic technologies such as GIS, GPS, and remote sensing to address global
issues; and
d) apply geographic concepts and
tools to issues of population, resources, economic development, globalization,
and social justice.
