The Highest Art Form
"There are many things that need to be changed in geography. If we are going to survive as an academic disapline, we should focus more on trying those changes for the better that will consolidate our position in universities rather than assist in our destruction." I think that this quote really sums up what a majority of these articles were talking about. I had no idea that geography was such a disputed subject. In taking geography classes at UNR, one does not see this problem that seems to plague geography. The UNR geography department seems very well rooted and defined. This article tells of how and why geography has such a broad array of topics that can be studied. The President also stresses the whole time about regional geography and how important it is. i liked how this ties in with last weeks articles and elaborates more on regionalism. This idea is still kind of new to me and i still do not really know exactly what it means? i have read many definitions but it still is not clear? how would you define regionalism?
