The department of geography celebrated fifty years of teaching and research at UVM in 2016-2017. For five decades the department has developed a scholarly profile in the College of Arts and Sciences and the University, highlighting spatialized thinking about social and natural environments, from local to global scales of analysis. We also participate in the interdisciplinary Geospatial Technologies minor, and in interdisciplinary undergraduate degree programs in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies, Global and Regional Studies, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, and Vermont Studies.How Are Courses in Geography Structured?Geography courses are taught at the introductory 1000, 2000, 3000 level. Introductory courses are offered either as lectures or as first-year seminars, giving students an opportunity to learn about the breadth of the discipline and some of the problems and challenges geographers take on. Intermediate courses dive into the subfields, building strength in writing and analysis. Advanced courses are offered in small seminar format, with high levels of discussion, a research or project experience (often with community partners), and opportunities to get out “into the field.”
