GEOG 1160

Explore the borderland region of British Columbia: where North America meets the Pacific Rim, where land meets the sea, where the colonial past meets the post-colonial present, and where a history of resource extraction meets a high tech and service industry future. In this course students will learn about British Columbia’s natural and human landscapes, examining how environmental, cultural, socio-economic, and political processes have shaped the characteristics of this region. In doing so, they will investigate a variety of current issues on topics such as resource management, climate change and environmental sustainability, urban and rural development, and Indigenization. Note: This is a Pathway Level 3 course option.
