PROFILE:
Greetings! My interests within geography reflect to varying degrees
my research and teaching pathways. I currently teach courses ranging
from the general education LBST 2102 (Global Connections) to graduate
level research design (GEOG 6200). Topically, I teach courses in
the regional geography of the South (GEOG 2160), global food issues
(GEOG 3250) and applied population analysis (GEOG 4255/GEOG 5255).
My interest in teaching extends to the richly rewarding “world”
of geographic education. I enjoy working with pre-service and in-service
teachers to expand our collective knowledge of geography in K-12
curricula. I am an active member of the National Council for Geographic
Education (NCGE) which provides an essential connection to improving
pedagogy and disseminating research findings. Further, I have an
emerging interest in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
at the pre-collegiate and collegiate levels.
In addition to these areas of study, I examine aspects of demographic
aging, migration processes among working age and elderly populations,
and housing vulnerability among the elderly. My future research
agenda will continue to include this interest in the spatial implications
of aging populations. This is an increasingly important public policy
issue as the large and influential "baby boom" cohort
reaches the later phases of the life course. Regionally, I have
a long-standing interest in the historical and contemporary geographies
of Appalachia as well as the spatio-temporal dynamics of cultural
landscape formation in the South.
Within the Department, I also serve as the Undergraduate Coordinator
for Geography. In this role, I am happy to meet with students (prospective,
current or graduated majors) to discuss any aspect of Geography.
I am the co-advisor for two student clubs in Geography: the Zeta
Omega chapter of Gamma Theta Upsilon (international geography honor
society) and the Charlotte Geography Club.
