Summary

• Geographers on film is a collection of recorded video interviews conducted with hundreds of geographers between August 1970 and the early 1990s, including scholars who have shaped the discipline. The interviews highlight the rapid transformations in technology throughout the 20th century that brought about vast changes in people's daily lives and in how geographers conducted research. In this interview, Michael Chisholm reviews his education and career as a geographer, including the influence of specific geographers upon his development. He discusses how his research has shifted from agricultural/rural to urban problems, his work with the Social Science Research Council and other commissions, and the changes in attitude toward geography that have occured during the last decade.
