Abstract

In the late 1980s, Regional Geography-in its classic sense-is enjoying a sensational revival in American higher education. Courses in "World Regional Geography," or some equivalent title, are recording "standing room only" enrollments from coast to coast, while more specialized upper-division courses (North America, Europe, etc.) are attracting students in numbers not seen for 20 years. Is this an enduring or a transient phenomenon; and what, in any case, does it imply for Geography as a profession and a "serious" subject?
