Africa’s People and Environments

GEO 320/GST 404—Spring 2010
Instructor: Dr. Heidi G. Frontani

Course Description: This course focuses on the cultural geography of contemporary Africa (1950s to the present day) including people’s ethnic identity, cultural practices, diseases, land and resource use, and wildlife management.  Our goal will be to better understand the cultural patterns and environmental conditions on the African continent and how and why they differ by location. By the end of the semester, students should be able to locate the major cities, rivers, and physical features of the African continent, know some of the continent’s important leaders, and demonstrate through thoughtful written arguments and oral presentations knowledge of the major social, economic, and environmental issues facing Africa’s people. Counts towards African/African American Studies minor.
Offered in the spring of even numbered years
