Great review of Violent Utopia: Dispossession and Black Restoration in Tulsa by UC Berkeley Geography Professor and Department Chair, Jovan Scott Lewis

In GEOG 189, Visual Geographies, students document and interpret the landscape and people along San Pablo Avenue from Oakland to Hercules using photo and film, engaging with how photography can help us understand the people we encounter and the spaces we move through every day.

Join us tomorrow for a special event with editors & contributors of the new book, Water's Edge: Writing on Water. At the event, Forrest Gander, Lenore Manderson, Brenda Hillman, and Maya Khosla will explore and celebrate water while reflecting on its disturbances and pollution.

Congrats to Chris Lesser, current visiting scholar and Geography alum (PhD, Summer 2022) on his research article, 'Another 'education by stone': An archaeological case study in Brazil's environmental law,' published American Anthropologist—THE JOURNAL.

We highly encourage our Geography students to study abroad. Classes taken abroad are able to be used toward major requirements (plus it's an amazing way to travel and learn outside of your comfort zone!).
