the question of course overlap had been resolved. For this reason, the

Committee's motion of approval read as follows:

"that, without prejudice to the Committee's right to

consider course allocations and overlap in the future,

the Geography program be approved as presented."

It was clearly pointed out to the Committee that its terms

of reference included responsibility for examining new course proposals

both with respect to their individual academic merit and in relation to

the other offerings in the department concerned, and in relation to the

offerings of other departments. It was agreed that this involved an

examination of questions of course overlap. In this context, the

Committee agreed that it would be desirable to examine the whole question

of course overlap and duplication of courses across departments in the

University and that it would undertake such an examination, beginning in

the Spring semester 1973. In view of this intention, the Committee felt

that it would be inappropriate to reject the submission of the Geography

Department, the academic merit of which had not been questioned, in the

absence of a clearer set of criteria for dealing with such questions.

1973-4 calendar

In response to our discussion and your memorandum, in

which certain questions were raised about the Department of

Geography's revised offerings to begin in the Fall of 1973,

I have the following comments to make:

Preamble

Perhaps I should begin with some brief remarks about the

character of our discipline.

Geography is concerned with the character

of places and seeks to understand how this character

develops. Explanation of the character of the

human landscape involves the awareness of all the

factors that create landscapes. Geographers,

.

?

therefore, study the physical landscape, involving

such matters as climate, geological structure,

the landforms created on the crust of the earth, and

soils and vegetation; these contribute the bulk of

the content to what is known as physical geography.

But the personality of places reflects more than

just the work of nature; equally important is how

people over many millennia of occupance of the

earth's surface have perceived the potential of the

landscape and how they have used it. We are there-

fore in geography as much interested in what people

do as in the raw materials upon which they have

worked. But the subject matter of our discipline is

the landscape or the personality of place; this

concern is central to all aspects of geography and

to all courses that the department of geography

teaches or proposes to teach.

I begin with those remarks in order to underline the essential

landscape focus of geography, and to stress the partial inter-

disciplinary nature inherent to the discipline.

1. Relationship of proposed 100 and 200 level courses

The department no longer considers it necessary to offer

• ?

a required prerequisite in the general content of geography.

We shall continue to teach Geography 101, General Geography,

and recommend it to prospective majors whose background in

modern geography may be deficient. But the department has

found in recent years a substantial improvement in the quality

---

2.

of geography teaching in the high school system of this

*L ?

province; in 1965, when our present programme was devised,

geography teaching in the high schools was rather poor.

Today the situation is somewhat different, particularly

given a revised social science curriculum which puts

considerable emphasis on geography, and many of our incoming

students are now well informed as to geography's general

area of interest. It is therefore possible and reasonable

to allow them to move directly into the introductor

y

systematic

courses, formerly numbered 211, 221 and 241. These courses

are therefore to be offered in the first year and without

prerequisite. There is no change in the content or purpose

of these courses in any way and they shall continue to be the

required courses for most of our subsequent offerings.

Of the new 200 level courses, 212-3, the geography of

natural hazards, is an extension of 111-3, physical geography;

222-3, issues In economic geography, is an extension of

121-3, economic geography, and 242-3, social space, is an

extension of 141-3, social geography. In all cases the

emphasis will be on man's use of the landscape and the

character of the landscape itself. Our intent was two-

fold here:

(a)

to cope with the fact that in most universities

(where they are not on a trimester system) introductions to the

& ?

three systematic areas cover a full academic year. Under our,

present programme we either try to crush one year's work into

one trimester, or simply do not deal with a range of topics.

We have found In practice that we have omitted a range of

topics, which we are now proposing to introduce at the 200

level. In this sense, 212 is essentially physical geography

II; 222, economic geography II, and 242, social geography II..

(b)

to follow the pattern already apparent in the relation-

ship of the 300 to the 400 level course. Hence 300 level

courses are advanced introductions to more narrowly defined

specialisms (e.g. economic geography is disaggregated into

primary activities, manufacturing, transportation, and retailing

at the 300 level) and the 400 level continues those topics in

a broader issues sense. Our intent was therefore also to

make the 100 level introductory to the three main streams of

geography, and the 200 level continue those three streams in

a generic issues sense. Hence the total pattern would be:

100 level - introduction to geographic subdisciplinary

streams.

200 level - first issues in those subdisciplinary streams.

300 level - advanced introduction to more narrowly defined

subdisciplinary areas.

---

400 level - advanced issues in those streams, and

a synthetic recompilation of the main areas

within the discipline.

Points (a) and (b) are, of course, compatible.

Now a case could be made to have the 100 level courses

prerequisite for these 200 level courses, but the department

believes that these courses can usefully be offered to

students who have completed a year of work in the university

even when this work does not include our lower level courses;

we believe they can be of interest to students in other

disciplines and they can be taught at an advanced level without

requiring prerequisites.

In addition to the proposed 212, 222 and 242 courses, a

number of other 200 level courses are proposed. Geography 201-3,

development of geographical ideas, is intended mainly for

prospective majors in geography and represents a response to

an expressed need by faculty and students; the department does

not, however, believe that this course should be required for

all geography majors, certainly not at this time.

Geography 251-3, methods in spatial analysis, is a somewhat

&

?

specialised course in what has been known as the "new geography";

although the course itself is introductory, there are certain

background requirements in mathematics that students may not

have when they arrive and we do not consider the 100 level

location appropriate. A course of this kind would not belong

with 111-3, 121-3, or 141-3 as essential introductions to the

advanced study of the subject; this type of analysis is very

popular in modern geography and although this department does

not consider it as essential as some other schools of geography

appear to, we believe students should be given an opportunity

systematically to study it. The 200 level appears most

appropriate.

Geography 262-3, Canada, and 263-3, Another Region, replace

our regional offerings at the first year. The logic of this is that

the department considers it desirable that regional courses be

offered at a slightly higher level than the first year; hopefully

majors in other disciplines will have more experience upon which

to base their study of a selected area and our own majors will

have received a useful introduction to the systematic aspects of

geographical study and this will allow us to adopt a more

sophisticated approach to the study of regions. The question also

of service courses arises; it is hoped that "another region" will be

of value to various area study programmes in the university, the

department having been asked to mount courses on Africa, the

.

1k

?

Middle East, Latin America and other parts of the world at a level

below the 400 level.

---

2.

Rationale for location of Geography 431-5

The initiative for this course came from within, the

geography department. This is not surprising since the core

of its approach will be attitudes to "landscape", which you

may recall from my preamble is in fact the subject matter

of geography. The particular attitudes to be studied are

those displayed in art and in contemporary scientific

attitudes. Of the 4 strands in the proposed course,

geomorphology and art are covered by Professor Cunningham

(Geography), music (by a faculty member from the Communic-

ations Department) and literature (by a faculty member in

English). Were a faculty member appointed who is an expert

both in the 18-19th C. Landscape School of England and its

ramifications with other aspects of the contemporaneous

society, his or her participation in the course would be

welcome.

431-5 is clearly interdisciplinary in intent, but the

focus of the course, landscape, is more central to geography

than to the other two departments involved, though the Music

of Landscape and the Literature of Landscape are significant

enough. Had the other two departments insisted that the

course be not located in Geography then arbitration between

the Dean of Arts and the Dean of General Studies would have

been called for, but this has not happened, and indeed th.é

&

?

three departments have readily cooperated. If the Fine and

Performing Arts Department has a contribution to make, when

it comes into existence, that

contribution

would be welcome.

In addition we would be quite willing to see this course

listed

jointly in the Departments of English,

Communications

Studies, and Geography, but its central

organization

remains

with the Geography Department.

Interdisciplinary courses should become progressively

more frequent ?

in the University, but there seems little

justification for siphoning off all such desirable innovations

into one divisionand leaving the Faculties of Arts, Science,

and Education with the remainder.

3.

Course overlap

This is a difficult question to deal with, since one

never knows logically where overlap begins and ends. One

understands that most of the coursesin this university are

taught in the English language. Does this mean that they

belong properly in the Department of English? Certain

courses in English, for example, deal with criticism of

literature; one wonders how they can do this without being

aware of psychological elements or sociological ideas; one

has heard of a Marxist criticism, for example, that is taught

Aw ?

or explored In the Department of English. Should this course

not properly belong in what we used to call the P.S.A. Department?

In literature to appreciate a novel it is surely necessary to

---

5.

understand the social milieu in which the novel first

saw the light of day; does this mean that courses on

literature do not belong in the Department of English,

but rather in History or in Sociology? The question of

overlap is quite beside the point. The important matter

is the subject of the course; in English this is likely

to be literature, in Geography it is place.

Geography 262-3, Canada, is a course in the Geography

of Canada. One wonders which departments are already

offering courses basically on the Geography of this country.

These, if such there be, would be the departments with overlap

courses. We are already teaching a course, 162-3, Canada and

the United States, and 161-3, Europe, as well as a number of

OO level courses in regional geography. This seems strictly

and patently geographical.

Geography 222-3, Issues in Economic Geography, and

242-3, Social Space, are clearly geographical in that they

deal with places or landscapes and place is the focus. One

knows of no other courses in the university that have this

emphasis or this content. They both pursue areas of concern

to the discipline of geography that date back to the nineteenth

and early twentieth centuries associated with such

distinguished geographers as Max Sorre, Paul Vidal de la

.

?

Blache and many others.

Concerning 3149_3

,

Human Microgeography, one is aware of

no course in any other department that deals with this aspect

of geography. To say that much of its content may be

psychological does not prove overlap with courses in psychology.

As a matter of course the outline was referred to Bruce

Alexander of the Department of Psychology's Curriculum

Committee. He assured us that (1) no overlap exists; (7) it

would supplement their offerings in an area untouched by

SFU's Psychology Department.

The Human Microgeography course proposes, among other

things, to take into account psychological factors in man's

perception and use of space and the resultant character of

places. Place is the focus and landscape is the content. The

same argument applies in the case of Geography 121-3 and

Geography 141-3; these courses are already offered under

different numbers and in over seven years there has been no

suggestion that they belong in other departments.

&

---

6.

I hope that in the preamble and three following sections

I have answered the questions raised by yourself and the

Senate Committee. I would point out only in conclusion, that

we first established our present programme in 1965, and that

we began a review which led to the present proposed changes

only when that original programme had run for five years.

That review itself was not taken lightly and has consumed a

great deal of our time in the last two years, and is still

ongoing in regard to the upper level programme. We f

e

-el after

seven years of one programme, and a two year review of

suggested changes, that the time has come to implement our

suggested improvements.
