It’s common knowledge that all geographers do is colour in pictures of volcanoes, right? And that they’re the only ones who don’t get lost in Freshers’ Week because they can actually read a map? Do these stereotypes have any truth to them? And if they do, has the notion of the Cambridge Geographer changed in 20 years? We interviewed current Geographers at St Catharine’s College and an alumnus to find out.
Our alumnus, Charlotte Duck, was a Geography undergraduate at Catz from 2000-2003. She is now a journalist (we love to see it!) and lives in Kent, England. James Rennie is an undergraduate set to graduate in 2023. He from Reading and is part of the University Cross Country Team.
