This class surprised me in a number of ways, the first of them being that it seems the least related to Geography of any of the Geography courses I've taken here. But even as May dove into a lot of philosophy and politics, the class remained interesting throughout. May is a great professor--he's brilliant, young and very easy to talk to in office hours, which I recommend going to. While the material for the class can seem a bit scattered and confusing at times, it somehow all pulls together at the end and you finish the final feeling like you learned something useful and relevant.
