McPhee, Siobhán R. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2022
Applied geography represents the dialectic relationship between theory and application (Pacione 1999, 2004).

How then can the relationship between the theoretical and the applied be challenged within the "spaces" of the university? I provide a…
