Introduction to Human Geography: Core Concepts and Approaches

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!

About Me

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.

Geography tutoring by a qualified teacher - GCSE, A Levels, Highers, Leaving certificate
Hello, I am a qualified geography and history teacher. I am qualified from Edinburgh University. I specialize in Geography from the ages of 7 to 18. I can prepare students for their exams and course work at IGCSE, A level (CIE, AQA and Edexcel all are fine), Irish Junior and leaving certificate and Scottish highers and National 4s and 5s. I can also help younger students develop their learning skills and subject knowledge. For exam driven students my classes will be prepared by finding out the areas of weakness before the class and working on them intensively each session. Students are encouraged to complete specific homework in timed conditions, outside of tutoring time, and return it to me for complementary corrections. After 8 years of outstanding results and students finding their paths to some of the best universities in the world, I am certainly the perfect tutor for finding a way to increase grade average and achieve perfection. For younger students, who are not taking exams, I develop excellent and engaging classes catered to their learning needs and interest. These will be fun but will cover core topics in geography and environmental science. In 4 schools, across the UK, USA and China, 80% of students have chosen to continue Geography as one of their main exam subjects when given the choice. Students who take this course should prepare themselves for the coldest, highest altitudes and the darkest most mysterious depths of the oceans as they take a journey to understand our planet and it's species.
