Cultural World Geography, for 9th-12th graders, taught by Tanya Stuart, will introduce students to fundamental issues and concepts that will help them understand the world in which they live. It focuses on the dynamic and
complex relationships between people and the environments they inhabit.
Students will learn the basic geographical tools and concepts needed to understand the complexity of places and regions and to appreciate the interconnections between their lives and those of people in different parts of the world, preparing them to make the world a better place.
This course provides not only a body of knowledge about the creation of places and regions, but also an understanding of both the interdependence of places and regions in the globalizing world, and the major changes that have taken place in global, regional, and local landscapes. The students
will become better informed, more able to understand the important problems faced by themselves and others, and better prepared to contribute to solutions.
