Introduction to Human Geography: Core Concepts and Approaches

Àpd 38.58 C$ /h

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!

Présentation

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.

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need to organize and study your EDM / geography / human sciences courses. Focusing on efficiency, I make sure that the study relies as much as possible on current events in order to make it alive and relevant. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

Les cours d'histoire et de géographie sont deux matières qui peuvent soulever des difficultés aux épreuves du Brevet des collèges ou au BAC. Les notes en contrôle continu dans cette matière sont également importantes dans les dossiers de sélection.

Professional teacher, French, very experienced and very serious, I offer private lessons and tutoring at a distance (by Zoom or Skype) or face-to-face (Luxembourg-city and surroundings) in French for primary school and school secondary (French, history, geography), as well as French as a foreign language (FLE) courses for children and adults.

I am always very attentive to the pupil or the student I have in front of me, his characteristics and his specificities, I thus adapt to the pupil in order to be as efficient as possible, that either in tutoring classes or in French as a foreign language classes.

I therefore try to adapt as best as possible the methodology of the courses and the teaching aids used to the different students and their particularities, as my background shows: in total I have completed 26 years of teaching (higher education, secondary education, private lessons) to all kinds of audiences, in all kinds of conditions, and in 4 different countries: France, Luxembourg, Russia, Lithuania.

I have in fact taught French middle and high school students; students from the Luxembourg school systems, from the European Schools in Luxembourg; to French, Lithuanian, Russian students...; to Lithuanian French teachers; to adults of different nationalities learning French in Luxembourg, etc.

During the ten years of private lessons in Luxembourg, I carried out different types of lessons and activities:
- courses in history, geography, French (primary and secondary schools), French for adults (FLE: French as a foreign language),
- preparation for the French bac: French 2nd and 1st year classes (French literature),
- supervision of a student enrolled in history-geography at the CNED (National Center for Distance Studies, France),

Professeur d'histoire géographie et EMC (Education Morale et Civique) au collège et lycée, je propose du soutien pour aider avec la méthode du brevet (paragraphe argumenté, analyse de documents) et du bac (question problématisée, analyse de documents, croquis pour le bac, Grand Oral). Je peux aider aux révisions, faire des cours (chapitres non vus en classe ou vus en polys), faire des entraînements ou aider aux devoirs.
J'ai aussi de l'expérience avec les prépas donc je peux aider pour la méthode en prépa littéraire ou pour le programme d'histoire et de géopolitique de culture générale pour les concours.
Je m'adapte à ce que l'élève a déjà reçu en cours comme méthode par exemple pour l'aider. Je peux, si l'élève le souhaite, donner des devoirs à faire entre 2 cours. Je peux aider des élèves en classe tout comme des candidats libres du bac (hors contrat, Cned, etc.).

History is a subject often considered uninteresting. But I try to design my course according to your needs, your difficulties and even facilities in order to create a course in which you will flourish.
Also, I am a student in History and therefore I can help you with the methodology and recommend several books to deepen your subjects.

The course will be divided according to the periods:

First, Ancient Rome, from Romulus to the death of Nero where we will study the different aspects of Roman life and its politics. We will also study Ancient Greece, also considered the cradle of history with its mythology, daily life and the wars that marked it.
The Middle Ages will be studied from the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476. We will go through Clovis, religion but also royalty.
Then, we will study the modern era with plague epidemics, life under the old Regime and the different kings as well as their life at court without forgetting the wars of religion and absolutist reigns as well as the History of the English Revolutions .
Finally, the contemporary era (where I am most comfortable), where we will study the Catholic Church, the working world but also the global aspects of this period. We will also focus on the two world wars with the civilian impacts they had.

If you want a course on the HGGSP, we will follow the program according to the pace you study in class.
I would also like to train you orally, by doing some courses, by teaching you to master a PowerPoint and finally by teaching you the methodology of the dissertation, the presentation, the text commentary and finally the bibliography.

Bonjour,

Actuellement enseignant depuis quelques années, je peux vous aider à apprendre plusieurs matières très diverses liées aux Sciences humaines et sociales : Histoire, Géographie, Formation historique et géographique, Sciences sociales, Sciences économiques, Sciences humaines et Droit.

Titulaire d'un master en Histoire, d'un master en Sciences politiques et d'un baccalauréat universitaire en Droit, l'interdisciplinarité à automatiquement une place prépondérante dans mes cours, que j'aime ponctuer de quelques anecdotes à l'occasion... L'apprentissage doit rester sérieux, mais doit aussi se faire de manière ludique et amusante.

Je suis très patient, à l'écoute et je fais en sorte que mes étudiants soient le plus à l'aise possible. J'essaye de donner un maximum d'exemples très concrets afin d'illustrer mes matières, issus de mon parcours et de mes expériences extra-professionnelles.

À bientôt !

Cyril

Chaque cours se déroule de manière structurée et adaptée au niveau de la personne. Nous commençons par une révision des notions précédentes pour consolider les acquis, suivie d’explications claires et détaillées des nouvelles notions. Des exercices pratiques et des tests sont proposés pour mettre en application ce qui a été appris et vérifier la compréhension. Je propose également des interrogations régulières et des points de suivi pour évaluer la progression et ajuster le rythme des séances. L’objectif est de combiner théorie et pratique, tout en favorisant la confiance et l’autonomie, pour que chaque séance soit efficace et motivante.

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.
