Cultural Geography, GE
354 ZA
Fall Semester
2000.
The ESU Undergraduate
Catalogue says this class is about the “geography of people and their principal
ways of life.” This fall we’ll be examining people and their ways of life
all over the world. We’ll focus on some of the geographic ideas, issues
and tools that have important impacts on the ways we see the world, including:
the ways we humans adapt to our environments; how we continue to transform
the earth; our “sense of place;” human movement, including urbanization
and migration; how we tend to organize ourselves spatially; and how interdependence
is becoming the most important feature of human activities.
If you’ve taken World
Regional Geography, you’ll recognize some of the same themes this class
will consider: region, location, movement, human-environment interactions,
and globalization and interconnections. As we become ever closer to the
rest of the work, and increasingly interdependent, geographic knowledge
becomes more and more important.
