What did he know, and when did he know it? Putting Glenn Trewartha's call for population geography into historical perspective

What did he know, and when did he know it? Putting Glenn Trewartha's call for population... Glenn Trewartha's Presidential Address to the AAG in 1953 sought to establish population as the connective tissue between physical and human geography. In discussing the important role of population studies in the discipline, Trewartha was not a voice in the wilderness; rather he was one of a growing body of voices calling for increased understanding of the role that demographic change can play not just in the social world, but in the way in which humans interact with, use, and interpret the physical environment. It is a point still worth repeating and pushing forward, but in general the field of geography responded only by creating a subdiscipline of population geography, and we are still fighting to get out of that cul‐de‐sac and on to the main road.

Abstract

Glenn Trewartha's Presidential Address to the AAG in 1953 sought to establish population as the connective tissue between physical and human geography. In discussing the important role of population studies in the discipline, Trewartha was not a voice in the wilderness; rather he was one of a growing body of voices calling for increased understanding of the role that demographic change can play not just in the social world, but in the way in which humans interact with, use, and interpret the physical environment. It is a point still worth repeating and pushing forward, but in general the field of geography responded only by creating a subdiscipline of population geography, and we are still fighting to get out of that cul‐de‐sac and on to the main road.
