Prof Price's Grad Student in Bogota

Dear students: I'd like to share a story about my PhD student, Amy Ritterbusch. She is doing her dissertation field research in Bogota, Colombia (AKA "the Athens of South America"!), with street girls. Here is the link: FIU Magazine Winter 2010. Here is a link to her blog. This is an example of what it is, really, that academic geographers do. In terms of the categories we discussed at the beginning of the class, Amy would be considered a cultural and urban geographer who contributes to the field of children's geographies. She uses GIS as one of her techniques. Maybe this sort of thing will inspire some of you to major in Geography at FIU! Or go on to graduate school in Geography at FIU!
