About this subject
All aspects of human life are geographical. Our lives take place in space. Spatial practices and ideas are central to individuals and societies: they help determine who and what belongs where, who controls and owns which resources, and who has what advantages or disadvantages. In this subject you develop skills of geographical inquiry through readings, lectures/seminars, discussions and assessment tasks to investigate and intervene in human geographies. You explore the practical benefit of this inquiry through studying crucial challenges relating to economic value, political power and cultural identity. You analyse case studies from around the world on topics including precarious employment, sustainable and just development, decolonization, nationalism and migration. You apply field research methods to investigate human lives in the context of ideas of place, territory, mobility, landscape and environment at diverse scales. The critical skills of reasoning, researching and communicating developed in this subject are valued by employers in social and environmental policy, planning, development, research and management. This subject prepares you for advanced level subjects including TAS-KGA308 and TAS-KGA319.
