In this course, we will delve into the sub-discipline of cultural geography. With its specific interest in the relations between humans and places, mobilities, technologies and the environment it addresses some major issues of our contemporary world. Our major focus will be on paradigmatic turns and key ideas since the emergence of new cultural geography to develop a thorough understanding of the theoretical repertoire of cultural geographic scholarship today. Moreover, in interactive sessions we will combine core concepts with related research methods as an ideal preparation for the research seminar in the 2nd semester as well as your dissertation research.
Assignments: Preparatory readings, active participation in discussions and exercises; Preparation, introduction (approx. 10mins.) & moderation of an interactive exercise on a specific methodological approach (no longer than 35mins.) (the idea for this exercise needs to be presented to me in my office hour at least one week before the session); Submission of an essay (3000 words) on a topic of your choice (You are invited to send me an abstract and proposed outline of your essay to receive feedback on your idea.)
