Biography

edit

Daughter of a constable, Jacqueline Garnier took geography lessons from André Cholley at the Sorbonne at the end of the 1930s. Women's Associate of Historyin 1941, just married to the antiquity historian Jean Beaujeu, she was first an assistant in geography at the Sorbonne during the war. She defended her thesis in 1947 on the geomorphology of the margins of the Morvan (physical geography) as well as on the human and regional geography of a valley in the Austrian Alps, becoming the first female doctor of state in geography in France.

Career

edit

Briefly appointed lecturer in Poitiers, she became a professor of geography in Lille in 1948, becoming the first French woman to achieve this position in the discipline, at the same time as Germaine Veyret-Verner (1913-1973) in Grenoble. In 1960, she was appointed to the University of Paris, where she remained for 25 years, teaching at the Institute of Geography on rue Saint-Jacques.

Jacqueline Beaujeu-Garnier follows a large number of students, French and foreign, and directs more than a hundred theses on various subjects. Jean Demangeot emphasizes "the attention she gave to the careers of her students and collaborators" described as "feminist". She also edited the scientific publication The information Geographic as well as the Annals de la Geographic. Rather conservative, she was reticent with regard to the student movement of 1968 and the quantitative and theoretical New Geography.

Her work in the field of urban planning led her to become a member in 1973 of the Economic and Social Advisory Committee of the Paris Region France, then Vice-President. She then became president of the Île-de-France Region Planning Commission.

Very present in the various commissions of the International Geographical Union, of which she directed the working group "Large metropolises" from 1980 to 1988, she was also president of the Geographical Society from 1983 to 1995.

Works

edit

His thesis in physical geography, on the geomorphology of the Morvan, is oriented towards human geography. She is a pioneer in population geography and urban geography. From 1948, it specialized in these fields, eventually leading to the publication of the reference works Population Geography and Urban Geography. Jacqueline Beaujeu-Garnier publishes numerous works and regional geography atlases in France and abroad. However, his privileged field of research throughout his career remains Paris and its region.

Very open to methodological and thematic innovations, she explores new themes in geography, such as medical geography or the geography of commerce with Annie Delobez and is a pioneer in applicable geography.

Jacqueline Beaujeu-Garnier developed geography work for urban planning and became director of studies for the Atelier Parisian d'urbanism after its creation in 1967.
