This document provides an overview of key concepts, approaches, and influential thinkers in human geography. It discusses the history and evolution of geography as an academic discipline from the 18th century onward. It also lists different categories of human geography research and provides examples of journal abstracts that could fall under each category, including economic, political, health, social, cultural, historical, children's, population, and development geography.
In broad terms, cultural geography examines the cultural values, practices, discursive and material expressions and artefacts of people, the cultural diversity and plurality of society.
It also emphasizes on how cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build senses of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning.

Paradigm is just a way of your interpretation that how you interpret something. And geographic paradigms have changed time by time. In previous time we think of a one continent Pangea but now we are familiar with several. It is a long debate to discuss it in a detail. There is only one thing to learn from this slide is the development of knowledge and advancement in technology have changed our perspectives and assumption about the geographical land on which we are living. Change is absolute which take you on ride from one side of picture to other side. Then you have many paradigms of one picture.
By going through this presentation, students will be able to understand the diversity within Geography. Introductory and comprehensive details have been given about each branch of Geography.
Geography is an interesting subject for all. It deals with location, space, patterns and distribution of life, landforms, resources, environment and development. Human geography is the study of human use and understanding of the whole world and the processes which have affected it. This module explains about the importance of human geography.

Role of Remote Sensing(RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) in Geogr...Prof Ashis Sarkar
since1970s, there has been a sharp rise in Global Resource Information System (gris) facilitated by satellites/satellite-aided geodetic, cartographic and geostatistical methods. This enormous information base needs an entirely new methods of analysis and interpretation. Hence, emerged an entirely new branch of learning and methodology, “geoinformatics”.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Concept of space
‘Spatial divisions of labour’
Places :
are not enclosures with a clear inside and
outside
Do not have single identities but multiple
Are not frozen in time, they are processes
20. Yi-Fu Tuan (1930 – present)
Space and place: Place is defined as
a particular part of space that can
be occupied, unoccupied, real, or
perceived Space is defined as that
which is occupied by an object's
volume

construction of events
22. Cindi Katz (1954 – present)

production of space, place
and nature

Economic Restructuring and
Children’s Everyday Lives.
23. Space
The fundamental ‘stuff’ of geography
Geographers are poor at defining space
The geographers prime interest is in the objects
within the space and their relative positions,
which involves the descriptions, explanation
and prediction of the distribution of
phenomena. The relationships between objects
in space is at the core of geography.
24. Place – eludes easy definition (Cresswell,
1999)
1) Place as a location: a specific point on the
earths surface
2) A sense of place
3) Place of locale
We can rethink definitions of place in order
to show how local and non-local events and
relations intertwine.
25. Scale
A real material thing which
actually exists and is the GLOBAL
result of political struggle
and/or social processes, or NATIONAL
as a way of understanding
the world.
REGIONAL
LOCAL
26. Scale, continued...
Six ways geographers have thought about the relationship between the local
and the global:
1) The global and the local are not actually things but ways of framing situations
2) The global and the local each derive meaning from what they are not
3) The global and the local simply offer different points of view on social networks
4) The global is local, scratch anything global and you find locality. For instance,
multinational firms are actually multilocal rather than global.
5) The local is global: the local is only where global processes ‘touch down’ on the
Earths surface
6) All spaces are hybrids of the global and the local: they are glocal
What do you think?
27. Globalisation: the widening,
deepening and speeding up of global
interconnectedness
Globalization, its meaning and
conceptual value, has long been
contested in human geography.
Globabalization is inherently
geographical.
Globalization is an ongoing process.
Always contest and think critically
about globalization!
28. Development
Like many concepts in
geography is hard to define.
Development is not a neutral
concept. Its defintions varies
over time and space.
Society Change/Policy
Intervention
29. Physical and human geography working
together interdisciplinary research projects
in order to develop a more complete
understanding of the world
