As you may know, I undertook a similar exercise to the one I did to include more female scholars into my State and Local Government syllabus, but since there is no central “Human Geographers” or “Urban and Regional Planning” Facebook page, I only asked on Twitter for suggestions. I also went back to my graduate school days (I don’t usually come back to economic geography unless it’s absolutely necessary) and re-read my comprehensive examinations’ papers. After the exercise, I promised I’d post it, so you can download my Regional Development Fall 2015 syllabus here. Hopefully it’s useful! If you were to summarize my syllabus, it’s basically “spatial analysis and economic geography applications to public policy, plus regional economic and urban development with a dash of urban politics and multilevel governance”.
