GEOG 004 - (BH) Cultural Geography

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
Cultural geography is one of the main subdisciplines of human geography. At the core of human geography are the concepts of place and space. In this course we will analyze the relationship between culture and the production of the geographic landscape. We also investigate how migration has led to cultural diffusion, and how culture influences perceptions of the natural environment and the usage of natural resources. Lastly, we analyze the cultural norms that underpin the allocation of public and private space, and how these norms in turn influence our sense of space and place.
