The Berkeley Schools of Geography and Andean Studies

Author(s): David Chicoine; Gabriel Ramón; Martha Bell

Summary

This paper explores the legacy of the "Berkeley School of Andean Studies" and its relations to the eponymous "Berkeley School of Geography." We examine the relationships between the key founding figures of both schools including John H. Rowe and Carl O. Sauer, but also their students, disciples, and other scholars influenced by their seminal research. Through a review of the interactions between members of the two schools, as well as academic genealogies and writings, our paper has three main goals: (1) define both schools and their Andean manifestations and ramifications, (2) examine the personal relationships and rapport between anthropologists, archaeologists, and geographers influenced by the Berkeley tradition, and (3) review intellectual cross-pollination including methodological insights, geographical, archaeological and anthropological perspectives, and bibliographic influence.
