# Geographers on film: Chauncy D. Harris

Geographers on film is a collection of recorded video interviews conducted with hundreds of geographers between August 1970 and the early 1990s, including scholars who have shaped the discipline. The interviews highlight the rapid transformations in technology throughout the 20th century that brought about vast changes in people's daily lives and in how geographers conducted research. In this interview, Chauncy Harris, professor at the University of Chicago and Secretary-general and treasurer of the International Geographical Union, discusses his education and early career, and answers questions about the program at the University of Chicago in the 1930s, how he developed his classification of cities, international geography and international communication among geographers.
