Abstract

AbstractThis paper traces some of the key contributions of Kenneth Cumberland to the making of the discipline of geography in New Zealand between the 1940s and the 1980s. It is structured around five themes: his early development as a geographer; his role in institutionalising the discipline, including his role in founding the New Zealand Geographical Society and this journal, the New Zealand Geographer; his scholarly work, especially as this relates to understanding changing landscapes; his roles in the politics of New Zealand geography; and his career long interest in popularising geographical messages, culminating in the Landmarks television series.
