ABSTRACT
The field of geography is a complex discipline that involves research in both the human geography and physical geography domains.1 Human geographers are defined by their specialization in a particular subfield such as political geography, cultural geography, economic geography, and urban geography; scholars who study international migration are known as population geographers. The latter focuses on studies of the interrelated socioeconomic, cultural, political, and environmental processes that help shape the spatial patterns of various populations on Earth. Geographers’ interest in the dynamics of space and place, in fact, has long been the core defining framework of both human and physical aspects of the discipline.
