Where GEOG-3415 counts
Counts toward 2 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
The 'new cultural geography' examines the constitution of power and ideology through space and place. This course considers a variety of these geographies including those of race, gender, nature, landscape, commodification, and capital, and examines representational practices such as photography, ethnography, mapping, and writing. Through weekly article discussion and problem-based learning exercises, students develop skills in critical analysis, interpretation, and communication.
Requisite courses
A minimum of 3 credit hours of 1000-level Geography courses or permission of the instructor or permission of the chair [prerequisite(s)].
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
