Mon 7-10 p.m. Car 105 Instructor Laura Smith In
this class, we explore the ways in which diverse
groups of people interact with the natural
environment to produce the contemporary cultures
and regional differentiation of the U.S. and
Canada. Special focus will be given to the
development of Native American lands and the
changes in distribution of ethnic groups.
Emphasis on patterns of human settlement,
economic activity, land use, and physical
geography. Fundamental geographic concepts will
be incorporated in regional discussions to
enhance understanding of both region and concept.
Case studies and short field trips will be used
to demonstrate broad themes at a more personal
scale.
