General education math and natural sciences course. Cross-listed as GEOL 335. An exploration of extreme, interesting and strange weather phenomena that impact all of us. This course builds upon basic meteorological knowledge and skills and applies them to several different atmospheric conditions. Students develop and apply an understanding of the laws of nature to the atmosphere and apply concepts to the context of several different severe and unusual weather events.

GEOG 695.  Special Studies in Geography   (1-3).

An umbrella course created to explore a variety of subtopics differentiated by letter (e.g., 695A, 695B). Not all subtopics are offered each semester – see the course schedule for availability. Students enroll in the lettered courses with specific topics in the titles rather than in this root course. Prerequisite(s): junior standing.

GEOG 695C.  Visual Geography: Exploring an Ocularcentric World   (3).

The prioritization of the visual in today’s society dominates our geographical explorations and epistemological assumptions. As geographers, we continuously engage with and (re)consider the cultural, societal and political perspectives taken on a myriad of visual phenomena - from art and photography to architectural/urban expressions and ritual performance. This is comprehensively illustrated by international case studies in academic outputs and within dedicated journalism. However, like all approaches, ocularcentrism has its benefits and limitations subject to considerations of temporality/historicism, sensoriality and multi-scalar spatiality. This specialty module aspires to introduce students to key readers, methods and modalities of geographical inquiry premised on ocularcentrism. It encourages critical explorations and philosophical investigations. Moreover, the module aims to further diversify and sharpen student approaches to world geography through the employment of themes/discourses including polyvocality, intersectional lenses, post-structuralism and post-modernity, (post)colonialism, hybridity, and ethnographic constructions.
