Philosophy of Geography

How does philosophy matter in the doing of geography? This course offers an introduction to current issues and debates in human geography as they relate to philosophy. Through engagements with pre-assigned texts, keynote lectures, and seminar discussions, the course provides different perspectives on the philosophy of geography with a view to advancing engagement with epistemological, ontological, and methodological questions in scholarship across the humanities and social sciences in general, and in geography in particular. The course invites participants to consider how philosophy matters in their own research, writing and teaching practices.
