Study Notes
Human Geography: Exploring the Changing World
Human geography is the branch of geography that focuses on understanding the complex interplay between people and their environments. This dynamic discipline delves into the diverse aspects of human behavior, culture, and societal structures in relation to spatial patterns and processes.
A pivotal research article by PhD student Paromita Bathija and alum Dr. Nora Sylvander examines the conservation regimes of exclusion in India, where NGOs and discourse legitimize dispossession from protected areas. This work underscores the significance of human geography in addressing global environmental issues and the impact of policies on local communities.
At Michigan State University, Dr. Pearson's lab investigates the spatial dimensions of health, studying aspects of built, physical, and social environments that influence both physical and mental health. Undergraduate students in this lab gain hands-on experience with spatial and epidemiological research methods.
Dr. Nixon, an environmental social scientist and human geographer, is among the 15 geographers chosen for the American Association of Geographers' Elevate the Discipline program, which aims to increase public awareness of geography's vital role in addressing complex issues such as climate change.
Throughout human geography, research can take place at a local level or span the entire globe, making it a crucial tool for understanding the complex interplay of human and environmental systems. Whether mapping food deserts in Washington, D.C., or identifying spatial patterns in smokefree space legislation across the USA, geographic information systems (GIS) are essential in communicating data stories and driving effective change.
Human geography's interdisciplinary nature allows scholars to address pressing societal challenges and contribute to public scholarship, elevating the discipline in the public consciousness and attracting more students to geography.
