Contact: Rosann Poltrone, Department Coordinator “Geography embraces every fact on Earth: every aspect of the composition, occupation and history of the planet. It is the monitor of our abuse of our environment and our guide to its preservation. As such, geography knows no intellectual boundaries. It deserves to sit at the centre of any liberal education. Geography should be encouraged to seize the central fortress, ejecting both pure science and that grossly over-promoted intellectual exercise called mathematics. Geography should stand alone on the scientific pedestal, joined only with its one educational equal, the study of the human spirit in English language and literature. Geography is queen of the sciences, parent to chemistry, geology, physics, and biology, parent also to history and economics”. Excerpt from the Times (London), June 1990. Geography is the study of the earth! Come explore the world around you in our geography courses: world regional geography, human geography, physical geography, human ecology, GIS, and new for spring 2007 – meteorology.
