| Purpose: This module introduces students to the nature and scope of geography as a science and what geographical thinking about the world entails, with specific reference to the Global South and Africa. Students will be guided to use geographic data and to analyse the geographical distribution of real world phenomena with the aid of a selection of contemporary geographical tools. A specific aim is to enhance the geographic literacy of students. Phenomena which will be studied from a geographical perspective to support this aim include topics as climates and the Earth's surface, population and settlements, culture and politics, and development and livelihoods. |
