Review the nature and structure of geography in at least one Australian university (UQ), present and discuss the data from your chosen case studies in the context of the two readings.

The focus for this assignment is Geography in universities.The papers by Holmes (2002) and Gibson (2007) (on Blackboard) examine Geography in Australian universities ‐ where Geography is located in terms of its disciplinary linkages and relationships, prominence on campus, how these things have changed over time, and what the implications may be for the future of the discipline.The same volume of Australian Geographical Studies (now Geographical Research) in which Holmes’ (2002) paper appeared also contains other articles on the topic which you might like to consult. These papers are high quality but a bit dated, you will want to also hunt up later reviews. The question is to see how Gibson’s observations and Holmes’ predictions have played out in Australian Universities over the following years.Using these papers as a base, the next part of the task is to review the nature and structure of geography in at least one Australian university (UQ) as well as other universities with which you may be familiar. The focus of the analysis should be an appraisal and assessment of how your chosen cases fit with the models, outcomes and predictions presented by Holmes and Gibson. Your analysis should be based on your own experience at UQ and on available data for other Universities as gleaned from appropriate websites and any other sources as available. Analysis of the assigned papers4.
