13 Geography

13 Geography

Does it feel like the world is more than just a little bit…divided at the moment? Whether it be literal dividing lines between countries that are contributing to real-world conflicts today, divisions in our political philosophies that seem irreconcilable, or our society’s opinion on major global issues like Climate Change, biodiversity loss and inequality, there seem to be fractures everywhere you look. But why? This Geography spin will harness the power of interdisciplinary thinking to answer these complex questions and make sense of the world around us. 

Content will be a mixture of natural (physical) geography and cultural (human) geography, as well as geopolitics and environmental science. Successful students in this course are those who naturally seek out answers to difficult questions, are willing to engage in research and maintain a healthy curiosity in what is happening in the world around us right now. 

Note: Field trips will also take place throughout the course, which students are strongly encouraged to attend.
