In this paper I shall attempt to describe the purposes, approaches andresults of an exercise in restructuring the undergraduate curriculum in theDepartment of Geography at Simon Fraser University. To do this I shallfirst sketch out a few of the conditions giving rise to this effort.

Byimplication, the curricular experience of this department may also serveto gauge developments in the discipline as a whole
