GEOG 3860 Geography of Latin America and the Caribbean (3 credits)
This course is designed to provide a more in depth look at the region of Latin America and the Caribbean. We recognize at the outset that this is a broad subject and may be looked at from numerous perspectives. Our objective thus is to examine this geographic region through economic, cultural, environmental, urban and political lenses. The text book provides the basis for our study which is further complemented by each students (1) research into an issue or event that had a far reaching impact on this region or within its sub-regions, (2) reading of works of fiction set in Latin America and
(3) viewing feature films with Latin American themes. Prerequisite: GEOG 1400 or GEOG 2200.
