Goals
|
The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge to undergraduate students as follows: from the point of the political, the economic and the cultural fields of geography, but the emphasis will remain upon social issues affecting people`s life, class, race/ethnicity, gender, poverty, the body, health and well-being. Also in this course we will focus on, in places, the role of space in the creation of social inequality with particular emphasis on the Turkish context.
