"Geography Is a Big House with Many Doors and Windows: Honoring Professor Dennis Dingemans, 1945-2023" - Discussant
Abstract:
<p>Professor Dennis Dingemans (1945-2023) was a pillar of the APCG. He gave 22 papers at annual meetings stretching across five decades. He served on many committees, co-organized the 1987 annual meeting in Davis, led field trips, mentored student participants, co-edited the <i>Yearbook,</i> and was vice-president and president of the association. This session in his honor features five presentations by colleagues, including former students. The body of work presented, often informed by field and archival techniques and incorporating landscape slides, reminds us of Professor Dingemans' approach to research and his interests in urban and economic places and spaces in North America (especially Northern California) and Eastern Europe. The session presents a lively slice of human geography nurtured on the Pacific Coast and recalls the eclectic Berkeley department of the late 1960s to early 1970s (especially professors Vance, Parsons, Hooson, and Pred), which shaped Professor Dingemans. His own brand of direct landscape observation and inventory, complemented by historical research, underpinned not only his academic efforts but also much of the applied geography he did through civic engagement. </p><p>DENNIS DINGEMANS SPECIAL SESSION</p><p> </p>
