BRYAN WOOLESTON LANGLANDS: UGANDAN GEOGRAPHY AND THE GOSPELS OF ST. LANGLANDS, 1953-1976

Abstract

This paper traces the life and accomplishments of the late Professor Bryan W. Langlands and his unparalleled contributions in both the academic and administration arenas in colonial and post-colonial Uganda. Professor Langlands was one of the early founders of The East African Geographical Review. His untiring efforts in the evolution of the field of Geography and Urban and Regional Planning in Uganda were truly remarkable. As we resurrect The East African Geographical Review, this paper is a tribute and celebration of the contributions this remarkable scholar made in the advancement of Ugandan Geography.
