Introduction to Geographic Research

Catalog description

Geography 200B provides an introduction to the history of geographic thought as baseline preparation for the General Geography component of the doctoral written exams. The goal of the class is for students to gain a basic understanding of core geographic concepts and their history, and an appreciation of the broad domains of geographic scholarship and differences among their approaches to research. By the end of the class, students will have developed partially-customized reading lists that they will continue to pursue in preparation for their written exams.
