GEOG 002 — Introduces students to basic geographic concepts to help them understand world regional variation and the
importance of global diversity and difference. We examine the physical, the environmental and the human characteristics of different regions as well as how they are related and interact. We emphasize relations among regions, people and look at topics such as trade, economic development, population dynamics, racial ethnic differences. We also analyze the role of regions in the process of globalization as well as the role of diversity and inclusiveness and how they relate to a regions ability to thrive and adapt in the face of uncertainties and rapid global changes.
