I’m a geographer. Yes, I study rocks, but I’m not a geologist. I consider weather and climate when I study people–but I know the environment doesn’t determine a culture’s development. Hydrology and oceanography are cool. Please don’t feel threatened just because I know about economic, political, and cultural globalization. I read Darwin, Lovelock, Marx, and Tuan–all in geography classes. The newspaper calls me a local historian. My neighbors think I’m an expert on roads. I hang out in cemeteries. I’ve served in government–far more successfully than the self-proclaimed “business experts.” Capitals? I really haven’t memorized them, thank you. But I can think spatially and holistically. I love my planet. I’m interdisciplinary. I’m a geographer.
