GEOGRAPHY: MAPPING THE UK

Maps are tools to understand our territorial environment, they do not represent reality but a certain point of view on it (Remember The Hunting of the Snark !). So, we'll test out our critical sense on maps about an original European territory : the UK.

I) Mapping the UK through geopolitical and cultural perspectives

  1. The UK : 1 state / 4 nations

  2. The UK : a disunited kingdom ? Maps as political Tools (the case of the Scottish referendum - 2014)

II) Mapping the UK through economic, environmental and cultural perspectives

  1. The British population distribution and the explanation of the « North/South divide »

      2. Commentary of environmental and cultural maps ( Flood in England, 2007 / Mental maps of stereotypes for ex)
