Society, Environment and Energy

Overview:

This is a first year, first term module delivered by Mike Leyshon and Bridget Woodman. This module was spilt between society & parts of the environment with Mike, and energy and the environment with Bridget in the second part of the module. Mike's part of the module looks at the relationship between people and space, place, such as asking whether there is such a thing as identity, and what is a community.
