Description

This course provides students with an understanding of development geography and critical geopolitics. It considers the spatial imaginaries through which we know and map the so-called third world and the material consequences of these imaginaries for people, places and politics.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course students will:

- have a knowledge of key perspectives in development geography and be able to critically evaluate their significance

- understand why development is both central to a geographic understanding of the world and highly contested

- have a sense of the ways in which the cultural, the economic, the political and the social are entangled in development practice and theory

- be able to recognise, analyse, interpret and critique development discourses

- understand the importance of everyday media geographies in representing, making and contesting development

Pre-requisites

Any 30 points of 100-level geography, or entry with the approval of the Head of Department.
