Description:
The field of social and cultural geography explores how social difference (e.g. race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, migrant status) and cultural representations (e.g. ideas of heritage, consumerism, colonialism, arts, aesthetics, or home) interact with space and place. This course examines processes such as the legitimation of social structures and experience, struggles over identity and memory, contestations of cultural meaning, and resistance to power. This is a field that asks — how does geography help imagine an alternative future?
