Browse Hierarchy GEOG322: Islands and Oceans: People, Power and Place

This course examines a range of issues relevant to island and ocean geographies in (post) colonial contexts – such as climate change, forced migration, militarization, biodiversity, the blue economy – through relevant geographic theories including material geographies, political geographies, more-than-human geographies, and feminist geographies. In doing so, it builds on geographic concepts of region, scale, scarcity, boundaries, marginality and identity. Case studies will largely be drawn from the wider Pacific region, including Aotearoa/New Zealand.
