GEO 2311 - World Regional Geography Credits: 3 hrs
This survey of the regions of the world is an introduction to how the discipline of geography makes sense of the world, its differing people, places, and regions. Central to this disciplinary perspective is an emphasis on the ways in which people and places interact across space and time to produce particular outcomes. This unique perspective is increasingly important today as technological innnovations, the spread of political/economic ideologies, and the movement of people and goods across the globe have made most contemporary problems and solutions global in nature. It is important to recognize that this course is not an empirical survey of place names and national statistics. Rather, this course is an exploration of several key issues shaping our world today. Each of these case studies offers a unique perspective on the process now referred to as globalization. Each lecture will address an important issue in a way that highlights its historical roots, its local experience, and the global processes that shape it. It is hoped that upon completing this course, students will have a more nuanced understanding of the world, its people, and their place in an increasingly globalized world.

GEO 2313 - Environmental Justice and Sustainability Credits: 3 hrs
This class will examine crtitical perspectives on social justice and geography through the lens of stuggles for enviormental justice and sustainability. This course begins from the premise that all people have the right to live, work, and play in environments free from toxins, pollution, and other hazards. Drawing on Porfressor Tom Perreault’s generative framing, we will “question why, and through what social, political, and economic processes, some people are denied this basic right”. The objectives is to answer this animating question through a rigorous examination of the environment justice (EJ) movement that began in Warren County, North Carolina. Leaders in the EJ movement use an intersectional framework to illustrate how capitalist production, structural racism, and socio-economic class interlock to make low-wealth communities of color more vulnerable to a range of evironmental injustices. Sustainability, which seeks to promote development and lifestyles that are “green, profitable, and fair”, has the potential to overcome these challenges. Potentially, resulting in a more just and sustainable future for all. Framed through a transdisciplinary approach, this course employs a range of critical reading strategies to question and unpack how notions of “the environment,” race, class, justice, place, sustainability, power, and resistance are configured, disputed, and (re)articulated through the prism of the state, civil society, and social movements.

HIS 2305 - Freedom Dreams: U. S. Social Movements from Theory to Action Credits: 3 hrs
In this class, we will examine historical and contemporary movements and critical perspectives on freedom, justice, equality, autonomy and self-determination. Freedom is the operative word because the movements and activists we consider emerge out of, or struggle against, the conditions of incarceration (Kelley 2008). Incarceration or imprisonment is not limited to the formal jail or prision; we will be looking at the conditions of Southern sharecroppers, the position of women of color under racism and patriarchy, incarcerated activists as political prisioners, indigenous movements, and the struggle against state-sanctioned and/or extralegal violence proscribing hegemonic sexual and gender expressions. We will consider a wide range of movements, including labor, civil/human rights, radical feminism, lgbtqi liberation. Black and Brown liberation, prisoners’ rights, indigenous rights, and environmental justice. Framed through a transdisciplinary approach, this course employs sources from academic texts and articles to autobiography, film, music and poetry to examine, among other things, how movements were formed and sustained; the social and historical contexts for their emergence and demise; the impact they might have had on power, on participants in the movement, on the community at large, and on people’s vision of a liberated future.
The lectures, readings and talks by guest activists should, compel us to move beyond traditional binariers; demolish the myth of “the great man of history” by introducing us to local leaders who rose from the grassroots but never found a place in the grand historical narratives; and reveal a vision of liberation so broad, so complex, so fluid that it defies labels and categories. Through our collective study, we will strive to remake the world, “to imagine something different, to realize that things need not always be this way” (Kelley, 2002, 9). Toward that end, we will center the analysis of those freedom dreamers who seek to build a society free of inequality, oppression and violence.
