Date: 18/04/2022

As a professor in the Department of Geography and affiliated professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Dan Montello has published widely in the areas of spatial, environmental, and geographic perception, cognition, and behavior and has made foundational contributions to the study of human cognition in GIScience—the study of human knowledge and knowing involving geographic information and GIS. This cognition includes both internal mental structures and processes, such as beliefs and perceptions, and external symbolic structures and processes, such as maps and natural language. This interview probed the development of these topics throughout his career. It was filmed in front of live and online audiences on March 8, 2022 at UCSB's Mosher Alumni House
