Howdy, we are Kurt and Leighton! We began GeoNow in order to create a conversation and a language between the two of us, real working geographers, teachers, students, and people who have never heard of geography. We both feel that we found the exciting field too late in life, and wish more elementary, middle, and high schools were able to teach geography classes. We are leaving GeoNow here for you, the curious students and teachers looking to dig deeper past the geography bee. As you will see in this website, the field of geography is very complex...we are here to make things a bit simpler because we believe that geography has a bit of something for everybody!
Kurt and Leighton both attend the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. Kurt is a graduating senior majoring in geography with minors in ecosystem science and policy and urban studies, and Leighton is working on his Master's in geography. Both students have passions for research and hope to one day call themselves geographers!
GeoNow began as a capstone project for a theory-based course called Geographic Thought & Analysis. Kurt and Leighton plan to keep monitoring and building onto the site after the course is completed.
