Cultural Geography

Imagine you have been asked to write a blog post for other geography students and researchers and you want to introduce them to cultural geography – its key concepts and approaches. Use at least one example either that we have explored in class or a unique example from your previous studies or personal experiences/interests. Make the piece as engaging as possible, and you can use a couple of images to illustrate your discussion. Draw on the academic literature throughout to help the reader orientate themselves into the world of cultural geography.

The purpose of this essay is for me to get a sense of your engagement and understanding of the course so far. Doing this assignment will help you get a solid grounding in key concepts used in cultural geography, which we will then further explore in the second section of our course after the study break.

2. You will not need to provide any budgeting estimates for the purpose of this Exercise but you are welcome to do so

5. You will not be judged on your skill as a marketing expert but on the evidence of your understanding of the points below
