In this course, students explore the characteristics, geographic distribution, and growth/decline of population at local, regional, national, and global scales. Students learn the components of population change--fertility, mortality, migration, and immigration--by considering relationships to political, economic, cultural, and environmental conditions. Specific emphasis is placed on demographic processes and contemporary population issues throughout the world through the lens of social/racial justice, diversity and equity. These include, but are not limited to urbanization, food security, domestic migration, aging, public health, morbidity and mortality, family planning, the decennial census, and immigration. The applied framework of the course helps students identify sources of data, measures, and methods of analysis commonly used in population geography.
