TOM MCDONOUGH “As an undergrad I was fortunate to work as an ‘Interpretation Ranger’ at the Thomas Edison National Historical Park in New Jersey. It was my job to help visitors understand the historical significance of the place, while also connecting it to their own lives. Each day I learned how its relationship to the present constantly changes and takes on new meanings. Although National Historical Parks are museums, they can be exciting centers for learning, thinking, and interacting with history. I have just accepted a position at the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, DC this summer and recommend anthropology and the National Park Service as ways to find opportunities for travel and work in interesting places.”

GO BEYOND THE SURFACE Geography (GEOG) is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environment. Geographers explore both the biophysical processes of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. It examines how cultural and political economic institutions interact with the natural environment, and the way that locations and places can impact people, and how these relationships change over time. The Department of Geography in the UH MÄ noa College of Social Sciences offers students an interdisciplinary academic training to study many critical issues that face modern society, such as globalization and its regional implications, climate change and its effects, resource use and sustainability, cultural change and environmental consequences, geopolitics, and the use of geospatial technologies.
