Population Geography: Social Justice for a Sustainable World
surveys the ways in which geographic approaches may be applied to
population issues, exploring how human populations are embedded in
natural and social environments. It encourages students to evaluate
population issues critically, given that population topics are at
the heart of many of today's most contentious subjects. Through
introducing students to different lenses of analysis (ecological,
economic and social equity), the authors ask students to consider
how different perspectives can lead to different conclusions on the
same issue. Identifying and tackling today's population problems
therefore requires an understanding of these diverging, and
sometimes conflicting, perspectives. The text will cover all the
key background information critical to any book on population
geography (population size, distribution, and composition;
fertility, mortality, and migration; population and resources), but
will also push students to think critically about the materials
they have covered using these twin lenses of sustainability and
social justice. In this way, students move beyond simple fact
learning towards higher-level skills such as analysis, synthesis,
and evaluation of materials. This textbook will be a valuable
resource for students of human geography, population geography,
demography and diaspora studies.
