Topics: Attachment and Home(land) with Dr. Alexander Diener
This course is a research-oriented seminar for graduate students. Our goal is to examine, in a deep and sophisticated way, the multifaceted effects of Place Attachment on the human condition. To better understand Place Attachment and process of territorializing identity is important for enriching concepts such as home, homeland, territory, and sovereignty, as well as, processes of conservation, preservation, mobility, and belonging in various periods of history and in different parts of the world. One may argue that Place Attachment is a profoundly understudied principle of geography as a discipline. Knowledge of this topic is also eminently applicable for policy making and in fields as diverse as international relations, development, urban planning, migration, education, indigenous studies, and conflict resolution. This seminar affords students considerable freedom of topical approach and area studies focus within the broad theme of Place Attachment.

- ATMO 321 Climate and Climate Change
- This course is designed to introduce students to the nature of the Earth's physical climate. It introduces the basic scientific concepts underlying our understanding of our climate system. Particular emphasis is placed on energy and water balances and their roles in evaluating climate change. The course also evaluates the impact of climate on living organisms and the human environment. Finally, past climates are discussed and potential future climate change and its impact on humans is evaluated. (Same as GEOG 321.) Prerequisite: ATMO 105 or GEOG 104. LEC.
