Geography

About Us

“Geography is a sprawling, ragged, gorgeous, discipline. It ranges across the physical and social sciences into the humanities and the performance arts. It’s a discipline with a whole heap of different ways of doing what it does. It maps and models. Critiques and exposes. Drills and digs. Surveys and measures. Talks and hangs out with. Theorises. Analyses. Deconstructs. It’s a discipline that both knows what it’s about, and yet were you to ask a group of academic geographers what exactly it is that defines geography each would give a different answer. Stuffy and hip, it’s a discipline with too much difference for some and yet not nearly enough for others.” — Geoghagen, Latham and Leyland (2020), Area
