PROFILE:
I am an urban behavioral geographer interested in the cognitive
processes that underlie individual spatial reasoning, decision-making
and behavior in urban places especially at the neighborhood level.
I am trying to understand how individuals develop attitudes and
knowledge about space and places, how they perceive environmental
quality and risks, and how those perceptions and cognitions influence
neighborhood social, physical, and functional change. Over the next
several years I will be examining a number of neighborhood issues
in Charlotte and other East Coast cities using qualitative and quantitative
methodologies.
Because of my previous administrative position as director of a
teaching center for faculty at UNC Charlotte, I also am interested
in teaching and learning in higher education, first to help prepare
future faculty for this career path, and secondly to find ways to
help faculty make large enrollment courses into effective learning
environments.
