This course explores our globalized world through a geographic lens, examining how space, place, and scale shape human relations, politics, and culture. Through critical spatial thinking and a historical perspective, we analyze issues like colonialism, capitalism, racism, and geopolitics to understand ongoing colonial wars, social inequalities and the impending climate crisis. In doing so, we explore how geographic knowledge helps us to imagine a better world.
Area of Focus: Nature, Society and Environmental Change; People, Place and Power
