Compulsory

Shop ‘til you Drop – 20 credits

This module aims to provide you with an understanding of the geographies of consumption from both a political-economic and socio-cultural economic perspective. This is achieved through approaching consumption via the themes of consumption connections (commodity chains and commodity fetishism), consumption spaces (such as shopping centres, luxury retail, themed and experiential retailing and geographic branding), production spaces (factories and the standardisation of production) and sustainable consumption. These themes will be explored through case study commodities including fashion and food. Collectively, the module seeks to encourage you to use consumption as a lens through which to explore wider geographies of globalisation and inequality (via considerations of an increasingly global economy with ever distant connections between producers and consumers), and sustainability (via considerations of the issues of increased consumption and sustainable and ethical alternatives). You will also conduct research into the origins of consumer goods as part of a local city centre field trip² in Coventry (this trip comes at no extra cost to you).

Compulsory

Research Dissertation – 20 credits

The aim of this module is to enable you to develop your research skills by conducting primary or secondary research focused on a specific problem of relevance to your discipline. You should use different methods and research skills, gained over previous years of study, to effectively communicate research novelties and ideas to the academic and non-academic communities. It will contribute to the research training aim appropriate to your level of study and requires you to demonstrate an understanding of the principles of research and to show an appropriate level of competence in the design, execution, and reporting of a research project. It will enable you to understand the importance of correct and critical analysis of all the factors involved in a problem and develop your initiative as you pursue and execute the investigation, demonstrating originality and creativity.

Compulsory

Global and Comparative Field Studies – 20 credits

This module aims to introduce you to critical thought and methods as applied in an overseas field location² (this mandatory international trip is at no extra cost to you, please see the 'How you'll learn' section for more details). The module will extend your fieldwork skills and your grasp of contemporary methodologies and techniques. Emphasis in the classroom, and the field, is placed on experiential learning whilst also ensuring the continuation of transferable field and academic skills development. Experiences and skills that will be developed include undertaking research in the field, making observations, collecting and collating data, critically debating previous research and taking responsibility for one’s own learning though individual and teamwork, and formulating hazard and risk assessments for fieldwork.

Compulsory

Optional module, one from the following two:

Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll – 20 credits

This module aims to provide critical insight into feminist geographies, geographies of the sex retail industry and geographies of music. The module explores feminism, post-feminism and feminist geographies. You will also consider key theorisations of gender including biological essentialism, social constructivism and performativity. The changing geographies of the sex retail industry are explored, including its regulation and branding, constructions of masculinity, femininity and idealised bodies, and how this relates to post-feminism. The module also critically explores the geographies of music and the relationship between music, identity and place, focusing on case studies from popular music culture and alternative night-time economies.

Humans and Hazards – 20 credits

This module will explore the anthropological causes and implications of natural and environmental hazards globally. While natural phenomena are at the root cause of natural hazard events, the strength, intensity and frequency of hazard events are often attributable to acts of human commission or omission. Research indicates that the impact of natural hazards on individuals, communities and nations varies significantly as a result of their geographical location and social markers including, social class, sexuality, gender, age and ethnicity. The module examines what can be done to increase the resilience of marginalised and vulnerable communities and to critically underpin the role of professionals and communities within this process.

Optional

Optional module, one from the following two:

Biodiversity and Conservation – 20 credits

The conservation of biodiversity is concerned with the maintenance in perpetuity of genes, species and ecosystems, and the sustainable management of biotic communities on a local, regional and global scale.

This module aims to introduce you to the key elements of conservation theory, highlighting some of the factors resulting in habitat and species loss, and outlining different conservation approaches which are effective at these levels. It will discuss the emerging global threats associated with biodiversity, conservation and development, e.g. transmission of zoonotic diseases and sustainable resource use. This is complemented by case study material which offers an insight into the practical application of conservation theory by drawing on examples of conservation programmes and projects, from both the UK and overseas.

Four Horsemen: War, Pestilence, Famine, Death – 20 credits

The aim of this module is to critically examine contemporary and historical issues relating to the implementation of peace and security measures within conflict zones globally. This module will examine contested debates and strategies already in circulation, around the root causes of conflict and its impact on displacement, food insecurity and disease. Moreover, it will re-familiarise you on the theories of development covered in 'Development, Culture and Change' and use some theoretical concepts to explore global challenges around food security, famine, drought, disease and public health within the Global South.

Optional

essays
group work
presentations
reports
projects
coursework
exams
individual assignments.

The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards achieving the intended learning outcomes.

International experience opportunities

Geography is a global subject and international themes are core to our teaching. As such, much of our teaching relies on the use of case studies from around the world; your lecturers will often draw on examples related to their research, such as child-headed households in post-conflict Rwanda (staff may be subject to change).

There are exciting international field trips² throughout the course, at no extra cost to you. Our students have previously had the opportunity to visit Berlin to explore themes such as memory, conflict and reconciliation. Final year students have previously had the opportunity to explore The Gambia in West Africa to experience first-hand the workings of village communities and the challenges they face in education and health. Students were given strategic briefings by government officials, investigate the relationship between trade, aid and development and conduct fieldwork in rapidly urbanising environments throughout the duration of this trip.

Please note that all international experience opportunities may be subject to additional costs, competitive application, availability, and meeting applicable visa and travel requirements, and are therefore not guaranteed.
