Human Ecology: Geographical Perspectives (GEOG0007)

Many approaches can be taken to the study of human ecology socio-cultural, environmental, economic but, in this introductory Geography course, we place special emphasis on the changing relations in time and space between society and environment.

This course seeks to develop and encourage inclusive, cross-disciplinary debate surrounding the physical and human dimensions that characterise the relationship between people and resources. On completion of this course, students should have developed (1) a an improved understanding of the human and physical characteristics that shape the relationships between people and resources (2) improved analytical skills to assess these relationships; and (3) an awareness of the importance of a geographical approach to the study of the relationship between people and their resources.

The relationships among society, resources and environment constitute an immensely topical area of study as national governments, global organisations and local communities seek to live within the environmental capacities of the planet. Within our principal focus of people and resources, we use the supply of and demand for various resources like water and oil as particular foci to develop the themes of resource sustainability, accessibility, vulnerability and security.

Students taking this module should develop the following transferable career skills: critical thinking, academic writing, awareness of sustainability issues.
