Berkeley School  

Definition

  • The Berkeley School refers to the loose association of like-minded geographers associated with Carl O. Sauer (1889–1975) and his perspectives and predilections. During his long career (1923–1975) in the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley, Sauer fostered an “invisible college” of geographers and a distinctive school of geography grounded in biophysical, cultural, and historical approaches.
