GEOG 24400
Political Geography
Tuesday, Thursday 5:30 - 6:45 pm
Instructor: Meraz Mostafa

In this course, we will use the various tools and insights of political geography to analyze and evaluate a myriad of economic, political, social, ecological and cultural crises of the 21st century. Instead of focusing on breadth, this course will take a deep dive into a handful of case studies that we as a class will ultimately decide upon in the first couple weeks of the semester. These may include but are not limited to civil unrest, wars, political movements, etc. as they manifest at different scales. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate to students how political geography can be used to help explicate the world around us. Students are expected to come to each class prepared and ready to discuss with their peers.

Note: For departmental majors, this course will count to satisfy the urban/economic geography requirement.
