This course introduces geography as a means of interpreting world issues and places human-environment relationships in the context of global change. Rotating topics include resource use, food and energy supply, population change and human health; the dimensions of global forces such as urbanization, postcolonialism, nationalism, and globalization; and the environmental effects of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability. Through the study of these challenges of a changing world, subfields in human geography are introduced including population, environmental, urban, political, social and cultural geography. Students learn theoretical and practical application in these fields and may specialize in them in upper years.
