Description	This module aims to introduce, advance, and critically evaluate a ‘network understanding’ of our world. Networks have long formed a distinctive element of geographical study. Various sub-fields of geography, such as transport, economic and urban geography, are heavily based on networks both from a conceptual and an analytical point of view. Moreover, the digital revolution, associated with developments in social media and connectivity as well as heightened flows of information within and between urban regions, has greatly enhanced the relevance of a network approach to contemporary socio-economic and cultural trends. This module will approach the above issues both from a theoretical and practical perspective.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Understand the importance of networks in various sub-fields of geography (e.g. economic geography and transport geography) Apply network related concepts to human geography problems (e.g. migration, world cities etc.). Use simple quantitative tools to analyse various geographical networks
