	Social Geography
		On graduating, I was employed from 1971 to 1973 on the Belfast Social Malaise project (funded by the Northern Ireland Community Relations Commission), under the directorship of Dr. Fred Boal in the Department of Geography, Queen's University, Belfast.
		The basic objective was to identify areas of multiple social deprivation in the Belfast Urban Area, on the premise that social deprivation was an underlying cause of the spontaneous political violence which characterised the earlier phases of the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland.
		The social malaise project was a major undertaking for one acadmic (Fred Boal) and two research assistants (Paul Doherty and myself) and, looking back on it, I am very proud of how much we actually achieved in only two years.

	Social Geography
		Social geography is an interdisciplinary course that fosters the capacity to understand the geography of inequality, injustice and violence which can hamper communal harmony and safety.
		Since geography is a social science, it is important to have a course that will focus on the connection between the “spatial science” and its sister fields in the human and behavioral sciences.
		The discussion of social spatial systems will be followed by a behavioral perspective that involves the study of human-environmental systems in a social context.
