GEOG 580 - The Regional Method in Geographic Analysis

(3 credits)
This course examines the nature of regionalism as a heuristic device. The purposes and problems of regionalization are explored in a variety of contexts where human and physical phenomena interact. Regions are analyzed and changing social constructs essential for the spatial analysis so central to geographic inquiry. The course examines changing definitions of regionalism from the French compage to the fluid functional regions of contemporary life.
