    T h i n k S p a t i a l The UCSB brownbag forum on spatial thinking presents Reginald G. Golledge Professor, Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara The Nature of Geospatial Knowledge (and when to teach it) Ellison Hall 5824, 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, 21 May 2008 Abstract: Knowledge of spatial concepts is the key to enriched Spatial Thinking. I distinguish between the unconscious awareness of space and spatial relations that permeate our everyday behavior, and the level of spatial awareness that is achieved by developing a spatial concept vocabulary along with a (learned) comprehension of what the concepts and relations embedded in that vocabulary imply. To elaborate this idea, I build on the basic work of Mark and Egenhofer’s “Naïve Geography” paper. The result is a compendium of language and behaviors in space that support the idea that we all have different mixes of incidental and intentional spatial knowledge. Reginald Golledge obtained his PhD in Geography from the University of Iowa, and holds BA and MA degrees in Geography from the University of New England, Australia. His research interests focus on cognitive behavioral geography, including spatial decision making and behavior and environmental perception; transportation modeling; and geography and disability. Golledge is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Honors of the Association of American Geographers, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Grosvenor Medal for Geographic Education, and the Institute of Australian Geographers International Geographers Gold Medal. He also holds honorary degrees from Göteborg University and Simon Fraser University, Canada, and served as a Past President of the Association of American Geographers.

Director©s Statement for 1999/2000 1. Initial Goals and Purposes For more than two decades, the Institute for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research (ISBER) – formerly the Community and Organization Research Institute (CORI) – has served as the campus ORU for sponsored research in the social sciences and, to a lesser extent, the humanities and other units of the university. ISBER's original charge was to “serve as a major resource for basic research in the social sciences,” encouraging “faculty participation in interdisciplinary research.” With ISBER's absorption of the Social Process Research Institute (SPRI) in 1990, ISBER grew rapidly and became even more diverse in terms of client base, a trajectory which has accelerated in recent years.

A Day in Pompeii (see IN BRIEF) gave us an opportunity to gather and experience the art and archaeological artifacts of the ancient world, and two of our annual award programs offered us a chance to celebrate those members of the Museum community who inspire us most. We presented the 47th Bradford Washburn Award to Jean-Michel Cousteau on September 7 (see pages 22 – 23 for story and photos). In addition to recognizing Cousteau’s commitment to ocean exploration and environmental protection, the Washburn Award dinner provides us the occasion every year to remember Brad Washburn, the visionary founding director of the Museum of Science. On November 3 we honored members of the Colby Society, donors whose cumulative giving to the Museum is in excess of $100,000 (page 39). At the Colby dinner we paid special tribute to Sophia and Bernie Gordon, whose remarkable philanthropy is felt in the Museum every day at the Gordon Current Science & Technology Center, which was established in 2006 with their lead gift. The Gordons were presented with the Colonel Francis T. Colby Award and their names will join our inaugural Colby honorees, trustee emeriti Joan Suit and Brit d’Arbeloff, on the plaque beside the elephant doors at the entrance to the Museum’s Colby Room (see pages 18 – 19 for story and photos).

Her mother is her companion from July to November. 1961 The chimpanzee Jane has named David Greybeard accepts her, leading to her acceptance by the other chimpanzees. 1962 Jane goes to Cambridge University to pursue a doctorate, despite not having any undergraduate college degree. After the first term, she returns to Africa to continue her study of the chimpanzees. She continues to travel back and forth between Cambridge and Gombe for several years. Baron Hugo van Lawick, a photographer for National Geographic, begins taking photos and films at Gombe. 1964 Jane and Hugo marry in England and return to Gombe.
