Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to selected contemporary approaches to the analysis of the mutual relationships between space, knowledge and politics. The course first defines the key concepts of space, knowledge and politics and then applies them to selected topics. Emphasis is placed on connecting theoretical concepts with specific cases in various geographical and historical contexts.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student: - explains the key concepts and approaches to the relationship between space, knowledge and politics; - interprets a specific case using a selected approach; - produces an independent analysis of a chosen topic supported by scholarly literature.
