| Omschrijving | With increasingly globalizing societies, culture and identity processes have undergone remarkable changes. Regional culture and identity have become important tools to internally create social cohesion in an increasingly individualistic and networked society, and lead to socio-economic development in a globally competitive market place. Paradoxically, that has been noted to homogenize culture and connect individual identities on a global level. This course considers some of the key overarching concepts and ideas in geography, especially as they pertain to this role of culture and identity in places and regions in a globalizing society. The course is general in its focus (i.e. no specific location implied) but highlights concrete patterns and processes likely to be active in specific places through both conceptual and empirical discussions. To different extents, the course addresses the Sustainable Development Goals 10 (reduced inequalities), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), 13 (climate action), 15 (life on land), as well as 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions). |
