1he purpose of Lhls class ls Lo examlne Lhe fronLlers beLween currenL geographlcal concerns wlLh space and spaLlal analysls and conLemporary pollLlcal economy and soclal Lheory. ln oLher words, Lhe lnLenLlon ls Lo focus on a llmlLed number of (non- geographlcal) LheoreLlclans across Lhe soclal sclences and provlde a careful readlng of Lhelr core LexLs Lo preclsely explore how Lhelr ldeas can conLrlbuLe Lo and lnform geographlcal analysls and how ln Lurn geography and a senslLlvlLy Lo space, place, LerrlLory, scale, neLwork and so on can deepen or exLend Lhelr research programs. We shall focus on Marx's meLhod Lo begln (selecLlons of CtooJtlsse and 1be Cetmoo lJeoloqy) and Lhen Lurn Lo Lhree key LheoreLlclans: AnLonlo Cramscl (selecLlons from hls pre-prlson wrlLlngs and 1be ltlsoo Notebooks), Mlchel loucaulL (especlally 1be 8lttb of 8lopolltlcs, 5oclety Most be uefeoJeJ, 5ecotlty, 1ettltoty ooJ lopolotloo), and Penrl Lefebvre (selecLlons from Lhe utboo kevolotloo, lottoJoctloo to MoJetolty, 1be ltoJoctloo of 5poce). 8oughly Lhree weeks wlll be devoLed Lo each.
1he prlmary readlngs ln Lhe semlnar - we shall endeavor Lo provlde a close readlng of core LexLs - wlll be supplemenLed by a llmlLed number of secondary and lnLerpreLlve analyses (for example 8renner and Llden on Lefebvre, Parvey and Cllman on Marx, 2
1homas and Anderson on Cramscl, 8rown and 8ose on loucaulL, and Llden, 8renner, and Coonewardena eL al on Lefebvre).
8unnlng across Lhese key blocs devoLed Lo Lhe core LexLs of a llmlLed number of soclal LheorlsLs, we have Lwo cross-cuLLlng Lhemes, namely race and gender. 1he lnLenLlon here ls LhaL raLher Lhan carvlng ouL a secLlon or bloc on each of Lhese key lssues, we shall Lry as besL we can Lo address race and gender from Lhe vanLage of Lhe Lheory lLself (and ln so dolng Lo hopefully see race and gender ln spaLlal and geographlcal Lerms). key readlngs lnclude CL8 !ames, lanon, McCllnLock, SLoler, and 8oss.
1he flnal sesslons of Lhe class are, aL Lhls polnL noL asslgned. Cbvlously we lnLend Lo cover a greaL deal of dlfflculL maLerlal ln Lhls semlnar, and our lnsLlncLs are LhaL we should assess where we collecLlvely are ln early Aprll.

1he readlngs conslsL of:
CLher Lhan Lhe key LexLs llsLed above, we shall endeavor as besL we can Lo posL maLerlals on 8space LhaL can be readlly downloaded.
We have requesLed LhaL all of Lhe key books are on 2 hour reserve ln Lhe LarLh Sclences Llbrary (some may be on reserve for oLher courses elsewhere).
?ou wlll see LhaL each week's readlngs conslsL of a number of core readlngs whlch every parLlclpanL musL cover. ln addlLlon Lhere wlll be secondary or supplemenLary readlngs (mosL of whlch are avallable on 8space): we do noL expecL you Lo read all of Lhls maLerlal and we shall endeavor Lo cover some of Lhe ldeas ralsed by Lhe secondary work ln our mlnl-lecLures" and dlscusslons. lL does make sense however for you Lo expose yourself Lo some of Lhese key readlngs especlally lnsofar as Lhey perLaln Lo quesLlons and research focl ln whlch you have an lnLeresL.
kepoltemeots: 1hls class wlll be run as a readlng-lnLenslve research semlnar. Accordlngly, lL ls crlLlcal LhaL everyone come well-prepared for dlscusslons.
Lach sLudenL wlll be expecLed Lo underLake Lhe followlng:
(l) 1o prepare a shorL one page ctltlcol commeototy on Lhe week's core readlngs and Lo clrculaLe Lhls elecLronlcally by Lhe 1uesday evenlng (absoluLely no laLer Lhan 3 pm) prlor Lo Lhe Wednesday day class (a 8space wlll be avallable aL Lhe ouLseL of Lhe semesLer).

(ll) 1o leoJ/cbolt ooe closs Jlscossloo (dependlng on enrollmenL Lhls may be besL underLaken ln palrs or groups) whlch lnvolves a shorL (10-13 mlnuLe) presenLaLlon of Lhe key LheoreLlcal and concepLual lssues. We would llke Lo make Lhls a collecLlve exerclse ln Lhe followlng sense: each week a group of Lhree wlll be responslble for Lhe presenLaLlon and Lhls lnclude 8C1P Lhe core readlngs and some of Lhe supplemenLary readlngs (wlLh Lhe undersLandlng LhaL noL everyone ln Lhe class wlll have Llme Lo devoLe Lo Lhese secondary readlngs). ln Lhls way, each sLudenL wlll mosL llkely be presenLlng (ln hls or her group) on Lhree occaslons durlng Lhe semesLer.
(lll) A wrlLLen paper Lo be handed ln aL Lhe end of Lhe semesLer. ln vlew of Lhe maLerlal we are coverlng we wanL Lo boLh downplay Lhe scale and scope of Lhe flnal wrlLLen requlremenL buL also Lo make sure LhaL whaLever you do ls relevanL Lo your lmmedlaLe needs. We wanL Lo be qulLe flexlble as regards Lhe naLure and form of Lhls wrlLLen conLrlbuLlon. lor some of you preparlng for oral exams, perhaps an annoLaLed blbllography or some sorL of panopLlc or synLheLlc revlew of parLlcular bodles of Lheory may make mosL sense. 1he submlsslon of a research prospecLus whlch engages whlch some of Lhe LheoreLlcal maLerlal we cover would be equally valld. lL ls lmporLanL LhaL you all Lhlnk abouL where you are ln your graduaLe work and whaL would work besL for you. We lnLend Lo meeL wlLh you aL some polnL ln Lhe flrsL half of Lhe semesLer Lo deLermlne, for each you, Lhe sorL of wrlLLen conLrlbuLlon you wlsh Lo develop for Lhe semlnar.
closs 5ttoctote. We would llke Lo run Lhe semlnar ln Lhe followlng way. 1he flrsL perlod (1.3 hours) wlll be a dlscusslon of Lhe key readlngs/monograph for Lhe week. 1hls dlscusslon wlll be led and chalred by a group of sLudenLs as we explalned above, lL wlll lnvolve an ouLllne or of framlng Lhe book/arLlcles and poslng a key seL of quesLlons or provocaLlons. We expecL LhaL everyone wlll Lry Lo parLlclpaLe ln Lhe dlscusslon. We shall make some observaLlons buL my lnpuL wlll be somewhaL llmlLed durlng Lhls parL of Lhe class. AL some polnL (Lhere ls no polnL ln sLopplng Lhe dlscusslon aL a speclflc Llme) we wlll Lake a coffee break.
lor Lhe second perlod (an hour) we shall glve/lead a mlnl-lecLure/dlscusslon. 1he funcLlon of Lhls ls Lo place our dlscusslon and Lhe core readlngs on a larger landscape of llLeraLures, ldeas, and Lheorlzlng abouL resources. SLudenLs can obvlously parLlclpaLe ln Lhe second perlod. 8uL Lhe ma[or funcLlon wlll be Lo slLuaLe our dlscusslons and for us Lo provlde someLhlng of a roadmap for relaLed debaLes and llLeraLure, and Lo begln Lo lnvesLlgaLe how Lhe core ldeas from Lhe week speak Lo geographlc concerns and Lo Lhe bulldlng of conLemporary geographlc Lheory and research programs.
