This essay argues for a connection between studying the history of geography as an academic discipline and the research experiences and knowledge productions of undergraduate geography students. The whereabouts of undergraduate dissertation research and the conceptions of what the field actually constitutes shapes geography students’ perceptions of the discipline, and thus affects shifts in what future and novice practitioners see as geography, or geographical knowledge. When comparing the local educational versions of academic geography taught at one university to more traditional, perhaps canonical, narratives on the history of geography, it becomes obvious that although there are many similarities, the timelines between disciplinary trends and educational practices never fully match.

近处和远处的实地考察：学生地理学家和地理学史上的扩展领域


本文主张地理学作为一门学科的历史研究与本科地理学学生的研究经验和知识生产之间的联系。本科论文研究的去向以及该领域实际构成的概念塑造了地理学学生对该学科的看法，从而影响了未来和新手从业者对地理学或地理知识的看法的转变。当将一所大学教授的学术地理学的当地教育版本与更传统的、也许是规范的地理学历史叙述进行比较时，很明显，尽管有许多相似之处，但学科趋势和教育实践之间的时间线从未完全匹配。
