SUMMARY:Teaching Population and Consumption in Geography
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nHow we approach population geography is deeply grounded in economic theories. From Malthus to critical approaches to population geography to cornucopia theories\, how people are viewed is through different viewpoints of their value. These ideas have fully permeated the public consciousness in how people are\, or not\, valued. This presentation approaches two lessons for use in introductory geography classes. The first looks at the relationship between population and consumption across the world. This lesson allows our students to discover how much messier that relationship actually plays out in the world than what “common sense” tells us. The second lesson that will be introduced is one that uses Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to teach students how the different ways we approach population geography have continued to be debated for two centuries – reinforcing that a Malthusian approach to people has always been contested\, and always had significant real-world consequences. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nKris Bezdecny is associate professor and chair of the Department of Geography\, Geology\, and Environment and California State University\, Los Angeles. She received her Ph.D. in Geography and Environmental Science & Policy from the University of South Florida. Her teaching focuses on urban geography\, political geography\, and social and environmental justice. Her classes emphasize project-based and inquiry-based learning practices\, combined with the use of alternative grading practices. She spent 2 years working for the campus Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning\, where she supported faculty across the entire campus in their teaching practices. Her research includes urban theming and urban globalization by exploring the private government Walt Disney World used to have in central Florida; uneven geographical development\, with a focus on exploring how different sociopolitical practices impose on our day-to-day spaces; the geography of the COVID-19 pandemic; and critiques of Malthusianism in population geography\, particularly in how it has infused daily sociopolitical thought – and the consequences of the narratives this creates. \nAccess the Webinar\n#member only access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!

SUMMARY:APHG Happy Hour - Unit 4
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informal\, organic discussion facilitated by APHG educators for APHG educators. Each session will focus on a participant-driven conversation about each unit where you can share your insights\, seek advice\, and discuss the latest trends that support the implementation of the AP Human Geography curriculum without the constraints of a formal presentation. \nThis months discussion will explore the forces that shape the political organization of our world. Join us to discuss how we can help the students examine territoriality\, political boundaries\, forms of government\, and the relationship between political power and identity. How do we help students understand the importance of contemporary political geography through examples of boundary disputes\, devolution\, separatist movements\, and supranational organizations? What strategies do you use? What skills work best with this unit? What FRQ strategies work well here? Do you have ideas you can share on how to connect units 2 and 3 with unit 4?

SUMMARY:Power of Place: Geography Is for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGeography is more than just a subject. It’s a lens every classroom can use to engage students and bring relevance into the classroom. This session shows how place-based\, civic-minded geography can ground interdisciplinary\, project-based learning across subjects\, no matter your background or how much geography content you’ve taught before. We’ll walk through how these methods work in practice and how they come together inside the CivicScape platform. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nHow to Join: \nPre-registration is required.
