  • In the Beginning Was Economic Geography’ – a Science Studies Approach to Disciplinary History1 Trevor J
    Progress in Human Geography 25,4 (2001) pp. 521–544 ‘In the beginning was economic geography’ – a science studies approach to disciplinary history1 Trevor J. Barnes Department of Geography, 1984 West Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver BC V6T 1Z2, Canada Abstract: Science studies are an increasingly prominent interdisciplinary body of work. Now a diverse literature, one of its most consistent and common themes is a reluctance to accept the standard model of scientific explanation (‘internalism’) that conceives scientific knowledge, and the disciplines with which it is associated, as the product of a rationality that is progressively realized over time. Instead, science studies emphasize the importance of local circumstances in shaping knowledge, which, in turn, makes such knowledge messy and context-dependent. The purposes of this paper are twofold. The first is to provide a selective review of science studies. In particular, the paper recognizes three subtraditions within the larger genre: Mertonian insti- tutionalism, the sociology of scientific knowledge, and cultural studies of science. The second purpose is to begin developing a case study in order to apply such literature, that of the institu- tional origins of economic geography during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and linked to a series of wider social processes around commercial trade and imperialism. To make the case study manageable, I concentrate on only two authors and their respective key books: the Scottish geographer George Chisholm, who wrote the first English-language economic geography textbook, A handbook of commercial geography (1889); and the American geographer J. Russell Smith, author of the first US college text in economic geography, Industrial and commercial geography (1913).

  • “History and Philosophy of Geography I: the Slow, the Turbulent, and the Dissenting”
    “HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF GEOGRAPHY I: THE SLOW, THE TURBULENT, AND THE DISSENTING” INNES M. KEIGHREN AUTHOR’S POST-PRINT VERSION ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION IN PROGRESS IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY DOI: 10.1177/0309132516653285 History and philosophy of geography I: The slow, the turbulent, and the dissenting Innes M Keighren Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Abstract This report takes as its prompt John K Wright’s 1925 ‘plea for the history of geography’—an early call for an inclusive account of geographical thought and practice, embracing both professional and amateur ways of knowing. In reflecting on the extent to which contemporary histories of geography realise the scope of Wright’s ambition, the paper considers how external pressures, such as neoliberalism and academia’s audit culture, function to shape and constrain the writing of those histories. The paper argues for the value of ‘slow’ scholarship as an act of political resistance and as a sine qua non of nuanced and comprehensive historiography. The report concludes by examining how biographical and genealogical approaches to narrating geography’s histories have important implications for the decisions made about inclusion and exclusion, about what and who counts in geography. Keywords biography, genealogy, geosophy, histories of geography, John K Wright, neoliberal academia, slow scholarship The history of geography is often regarded as a somewhat antiquarian and useless background to modern geography … or as the harmless hobby of collectors of old maps. (Wright, 1925a: 194) The history of geography as a whole and in its wider bearings has been neglected … or at least it has not received the attention which any enthusiast may, perhaps, be permitted to regard as its due.

  • The Early Development of Geography As A
    THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AS A “SUBJECT OF INSTRUCTION” AND THE ORIGINS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY AT THE MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND, 1946-1963 ALAN G. MACPHERSON Professor Emeritus (c) Department of Geography The Memorial University of Newfoundland June 2000 The Memorial University College opened its doors in St John’s on September 15, 1925, as a memorial to the Newfoundlanders who fell in the First World War. Although the college calendar had listed Geography as a Grade XI science option for admission since 1933, Geography did not appear among the “Subjects of Instruction” until 1946. The first appointment — in the person of Harold Goodridge — was somewhat fortuitous: Goodridge had been approached by members of the Board of Trustees in June that year to see if he would be interested in filling a vacancy in Art, but he had demurred on the grounds that he did not have “proper academic qualifications for such a post, besides he is qualified in Geography.” It had then been argued that he might be engaged as a part-time lecturer in Geography on the grounds that “The subject is not taught well, or given a humanistic approach in our schools, and the College would render a worthwhile service to the teachers of this subject by expanding to include Geography. .... a first class Geographer would be a great asset to College and Country.” In the calendar for 1947-1948 H.B. Goodridge, M.A. (Cantab.), F.R.G.S., appeared for the first time in the Faculty List for 1946-1947 as Special Lecturer in Geography; the designation implied his part-time position — a status which he retained until 1951 when he became Lecturer in Geography.

    GEO 603 Development of Geographic Thought Fall 2020 Bob Wilson Department of Geography Monday, 2:15-5:00pm Eggers 155 Office: Eggers 533 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Happy to meet with students via Zoom (email me to make an appointment) Overview This graduate seminar examines the development of geographic thought and changes in the discipline of geography from the early twentieth century to the present. It focuses on continuities in geographic thought over that time—the reoccurring debates and issues that geographers have wrestled with for decades. But the seminar also addresses discontinuities—the profound methodological and conceptual changes throughout the discipline’s twentieth and twenty-first century histories. As David Livingstone wrote, geography has always been a contested enterprise. This seminar will help you better understand what ideas geographers contested and what was at stake in past and current debates. While this class will give you a firmer conceptual grounding for your MA or PhD research in geography and other disciplines, it will also to help you better understand the approaches of other geographers. Geography is a broad discipline that includes perspectives from the social sciences, natural sciences, and the humanities. You are probably already developing expertise in one of these three broad areas. In this course, you will need to do your best to understand how geographers using conceptual and methodological approaches far different from your own make sense of the world.

International education is seen as an essential part of high school and college education in an increasingly interdependent world.The oil crisis, the world economic recession, and the Iranianhostage crisis have made the U.S. public aware of the complex world sltuation and have increased the need to understand the complexities of global interdependence. A revitalization of regional geographyor area studies with a global emphasis and a problems approach_is suggested. In order to show_how geography developed as a discipline and illuttrate its placement in the curriculum of the UnitedStates and Eurone, its history is traced from the eighteenth century to the present. Traditionally, geography has held a higher status in the curriculum in Europe than_in the United StatesBy the time a global perspective was introduced into the United States curriculum, theoretical goegraphy prevailed at the university level,and geography was_never introduced as a required and integralpart of high school education as it was in Europe.
