Assistant Professor of Geography

Across my research, teaching, and mentoring, I insist upon a deeply engaged caring praxis—one that emerges from and through social relations. This requires an approach that takes seriously the importance of taking time in researching, ruminating, and writing; working collaboratively and collectively with others; and, building meaningful relationships with colleagues, students, and the communities with whom I work.
