maantieteessäkin

Maantieteessäkin, literally translated as “also in geography” or “even in geography,” is a Finnish expression used to emphasize the relevance of geographic perspective in a broad range of topics. In discourse and education, it signals that geographic thinking—spatial relationships, distribution, and environments—can illuminate questions in politics, economics, culture, and everyday life.

In educational contexts, the phrase appears in textbooks and teacher discussions to encourage students to apply geographic thinking to subjects like climate change, urban planning, or regional development, illustrating that geography is not confined to maps alone.

In journalism and public debate, maantieteessäkin is used to remind audiences that spatial factors influence outcomes such as migration, resource allocation, and infrastructure, and that solutions should consider location, scale, and connectedness.

Although not a technical term with a formal definition, maantieteessäkin functions as a rhetorical device to promote interdisciplinarity and geographic literacy. It aligns with broader efforts to integrate spatial thinking into education and policy.

The expression remains part of a broader Finnish conversation about the role of geography in society.
