This module aims to critically examine the following core issues: What is Human Geography or, rather, what are Human Geographies? Can geography help us to understand the complex diversity of human identities and patterns of human activity? How are themes such as space and place, nature and culture involved? Does change in society and culture contribute to shaping the landscape or to creating spatial differences and inequalities? How can Human Geographers' approaches to contemporary problems and issues on the global and local scale offer insight into possible political positioning? The module outlines geographical perspectives on the complex relationships between people and the environments, spaces and places in which they live and work. The module explores key concepts and contemporary approaches in human geography to these relationships expressed in a number of sub-disciplinary topics and themes, alongside developing key skills for human geographers.
