Gerald Lynn Ingalls
Chair and Professor of Geography
Department of Geography and Earth Sciences
Profile
I have broad interests in urban and political geography. My
political interests lie in the electoral process including campaign financing
and what works and does not work in electoral campaigning. I have broad
interests in electoral behavior and why voters cast ballots in the way that they
do and the impact that electoral districting, particularly districting is used
to gain advantage for one political party, or social group has been a major
focus of my research interests.
My urban/political research agenda focuses on the methods and techniques by
which space is dissected by political boundaries. These boundaries determine how
cities function, how they grow, how efficiently and effectively they deliver
services to residents, and ultimately if they remain healthy or not. Ultimately
my interests lie in exploring the relationaship among annexation, incorporation,
political fragmentation and the health of cities.
