Coffee & Geography S02E18 Jeremy Patrich (USA)

Kit and Jeremy Patrich share an iced tea, chatting about ‘backyard geography’, using geography education to enhance opportunities, Disney history, amongst other things!Professor Jeremy Patrich is the Backyard Geographer. He has taught hundreds of geography and geology courses at Colleges and Universities across the State of California and has taken thousands of students on field trips to explore the geography in our backyards. The Pandemic changed the way educators interact and inspire their students, and with the help of friends and YouTube, he has found a new way to engage with students around the world. In addition to loving the Earth Sciences, he is also a Disney Historian and collector of Disney Art, Vintage Americana & Pop Culture items.
