Students explore the emergence of British Columbia in the context of Indigenous history, colonial interactions, the modern nation-state, and emerging concerns about social and economic sustainability in a global economy. British Columbia's physical geography, its evolving human-nature adaptations, and the emergence of new cultural, political, and economic organization are introduced through survey lectures and analyzed through explorations of case studies of distinct sub-regional processes and concerns. Note: Students cannot receive credit for both GEOG 2230 and GEOG 2231.
