Introduction to Human Geography: Core Concepts and Approaches

Von 28.11 $ /Std

Studying Human Geography is key to understanding the spatial differences that make up our world, how we as humans relate and experience place and space, and how inequalities exist across space. Human Geography asks us to consider: why are some areas and the people within them so different than others?

This class will explore and introduction to the key basic issues and strands within Human Geography. It will start with a basic introduction to the course. We will then introduce the core theoretical and philosophical approaches that provide a lens for understanding issues in Human Geography, including postcolonialist, Marxist and feminist approaches, and identify key thinkers in contemporary Human Geography.

We will then go onto to explore some of the main areas of the field, starting with cultural geographies - understanding the spatially contextual nature of cultures; political geographies — how political power produces and shapes space; economic geographies, examining the spatiality of production and the global inequalities bound up in these; and finally environmental geography, with a focus on the ways in which the political, the cultural, and economic structure intersect to produce environmental degradation —and how this produces uneven outcomes for different populations living through in this new era of the anthroprocene —or as some call it, the capitalocene.

The course will cover six lessons and is ideal for a prospective Geography student considering undergraduate studies, anyone else who is interested in an introduction to the field, or needs a bit extra help to enhance their university work and understanding — and of course anyone else simply interested in the subject is welcome to join!

Über mich

I am a patient and friendly individual who looks forward to interacting with my students and guiding them through sometimes challenging concepts. I am skilled at explaining difficult concepts comprehensively, and am always happy to repeat things of students don't understand!

I strongly believe that learning is a two-way process — through the course we will both learn from each other! It's great to hear from a range of different perspectives.

I always strive to create the most engaging materials for my students, and we will make it fun! I hope that through the course students will be able to go out in the 'real world' with a better comprehension of what is 'actually happening', gaining a deeper understanding and critical engagement with the social world around them, as well as preparing them for further study.

Short readings will be provided-this will facilitate some debate and discussion in class. I will try to ensure that they won't be too hard and will be accessible. Please do not worry if you struggle with them - they are not compulsory, though they will help enhance your learning.

German course - online or face-to-face in the greater Geneva area. All age groups and levels, preparation for exams, tests or tests. Tutoring/homework help in German or geography (in German).

Learn German in a playful way with play groups for preschool children and to get started with the new language.

Learning à la carte, private and intensive for teenagers and young adults:
We work together to achieve previously defined learning goals. The variety of tools I offer allows you to progress in your own way and at your own pace. Regardless of whether you are more of an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner type.

The composition of the training media makes the lessons more attractive: the inverted classroom allows you to anticipate the next live session and progress faster; the micro-learning refreshes your most recent knowledge. The learning content is tailored to schools and universities.

Do you have a learning partner or even a homogeneous study group? Great, because the unit price for an hour is significantly reduced. Just ask!

Hallo!
Mein Name ist Svenja und ich studiere Gymnasiallehramt mit den Fächern Geografie und Mathematik.

Da mir das Arbeiten mit Kindern und Jugendlichen sehr viel Spaß macht und ich gerne mein Wissen weitergebe, biete ich Nachhilfeunterricht in meinen Studienfächern an. Es motiviert mich besonders, Schülern zu zeigen, dass Lernen Spaß machen kann – vor allem, wenn man die Themen einmal wirklich versteht.

Ich lege Wert darauf, individuell auf die Lernbedürfnisse meiner Schüler einzugehen und gemeinsam eine angenehme Lernatmosphäre zu schaffen. Außerdem bin ich zeitlich flexibel, sodass sich die Stunden gut in den Alltag integrieren lassen.

As a geography student at ENS Lyon, I offer individualized teaching and help in preparing for quizzes or exams.

My goal is to help the student progress without overloading them. I may assign homework after lessons, but this is only occasional.

The main objective of my courses is to instill (or rekindle) in students a love of history and geography. To achieve this, I use a variety of resources and do not limit myself to traditional lectures.
