Cultural Geography

Cultural Geography is a relatively new sub-field within human geography. A very simple and broad definition is the study of geographical aspects of human culture.

Cultural Geography studies the patterns of diversity and unity among the world's cultural groups, and examines the spatial interaction of society and how factors such as climate influence cultures by focusing on analysis of settlement, economics, politics, religion, language and other cultural phenomena. Includes globalization and the effects upon culture.
