ANTH 131 - Cultural Geography

Upper Division

Cultural geography studies the way people shape and give meaning to their environment, and allows us to look at the fascinating variety of human activity in the world-the human landscape. Geographic knowledge is vital to understanding national and international issues that dominate daily news reports. This course examines the relevance of geographic methods and concepts to such social science topics as agricultural patterns and practices, ethnic traditions and conflicts, gender, health, migration, political economy, poverty, religion, resource utilization, social change, and urban planning.
