Interview preview:
"What does getting a degree in geography actually entail? According to Stacie Townsend, a PhD candidate in the Geography Graduate Group at the University of California, Davis, it’s a lot more varied and diverse than most people think.
"Stacie discusses how geography can be used to explain everything from trends in public transportation to the fictional town of Hill Valley from the Back to the Future movie trilogy. And while she clarifies that geography isn’t always about maps, we still get her to share her favorite types of maps with us and tell us why she thinks maps are so important to understanding our place in the world."
