Disgrifiad cryno

This module provides a critical introduction to a number of key themes in human geography. It explores the complex web of identity relations that constitute places and how those relations are imbued with relations of power. Case studies will be a key component of this module as staff will draw upon contemporary and historical events from their research to illustrate how identity relations can produce spatial outcomes that are opressive and/or exclusionary. Key themes will include:

· Different forms of power and their effects on space.
· Key spatial objects in human geography: e.g., places, landscaped and cities.
