Video Lectures

The second half of my lecture on continents has been posted on YouTube and can be found here. It begins with the geological conception of the terms “continent” and “continental,” and then pivots to show why the continental scheme is of little if any use for understating either biogeography or human geography. The next section looks at the alternative world-regional system of global division. The lecture concludes with a brief reexamination of the underlying problem of geographical ignorance.
