Geography

Over the years the questions have come up many times. Why Geography as a major? Aren’t all the maps drawn? What’s the capitol of ___________?

I could go into a long diatribe (and someday will) about how Geography is more than crayolas and state capitols. I could explain ad nauseum that it’s not just the geologic features that matter but the economic, political and cultural features of man’s interaction with the planet that matter. I could even sell the value of geography as the perfect multi-discipline, multi-cultural liberal arts program (at least as run by Cal Berkeley). But I won’t.

I’ll just point at the shifting of Sumatra and say ‘No.!’ All the maps aren’t drawn and things change. So there.
