Cultural Geography (C-ID GEOG 120)

This text introduces students to the relationship between geography and the development of human cultures. It investigates how geography serves as a frame upon which communities and social groups developed their languages, religions, food and so many other aspects of culture. Particular attention is placed on how these systems of culture interacted with one another and across different places and spaces to create and mold different racial-ethnic groups.
