GEOG 101

This course in an introduction to fundamental principles of physical and human geography, with topics ranging from climate change, plate tectonics, globalization, world cultures, cultural identity, human migration and their interactions. We will examine the relationships among space, place, environment, and culture in an effort to understand why events and processes occur at specific locations, and how those events and processes influence activities elsewhere, including the effects of global networks and capital on culture regions, local practices and people will be explored. Our central question as geography students will be - Why is this happening in this particular place at this particular time?
