GEO 2110 - Time and Space in North America

3 cr

Although we tend to think of North America as a more-or-less unified region, a closer look reveals long-standing regional cultural differences. In this course, we consider the international migratory patterns, adaptive strategies, and cultural mixing that influenced the development of American regionalism. In particular, we will focus on material culture, including regional architecture and cemetery patterns, in an effort to foster an appreciation for how remnant cultural landscapes can be "read" for their historical geographies.
This course fulfills the World Views Frame of Reference.
