| Omschrijving | In this course, students will be introduced to important concepts in the field of cultural geography and related fields such as human geography, sociology and anthropology. The relation between people, places and cultures will be discussed extensively. Literature and lectures will be centered around the following themes: the interaction between the global and the local - glocalization; community (development) in a globalizing world; everyday geographies and exclusion; applying concepts in geographical research. Lectures, guest lectures and independent study of literature are applied to introduce various concepts related to the themes. Acquired knowledge is tested in an intermediate digital exam. Next to this, students are expected to actively participate in reflection sessions, guided by lecturer(s). The discussions will focus on either obligatory literature or video documentaries. Students will receive a task to complete before the sessions take place. Throughout the course, students will work on a group assignment. In this assignment they will conduct research on a concrete geographical issue in the Northern Netherlands. Within a wider theme group, students will select a ‘contested case’, and do justice to the multiplicity of views on the issue. They will present their findings in an autonomous presentation (max. 6 minutes), i.e. running independently without a presenter. Assessment consists of the following products and activities: the intermediate digital multiple choice exam (30%), active participation in discussion sessions (20%), and the assignment (50%) – specifically the autonomous presentation and the justification report. |
