What is Geography?

We are more than ‘state names and capitols’ and more than maps! Geography focuses on the spatial organization of human and physical landscapes,  interactions between human society and the physical environment, as well as the meanings that people bring to their place in the world. Geography sits at the nexus of the social and physical sciences, drawing from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches for understanding the world around us
