Biography

I am a human geographer specializing in economic and urban geography. My research and teaching are primarily concerned with the ways in which space and place figure in to economic and urban processes. Currently, I am engaged with two projects, both grounded in Atlanta and the larger metropolitan region. The first asks questions about the geographies of the sports industry and the second examines the work that maps do to shape the built environment and other urban geographies. Additionally, with colleagues in the Geography Program and the Center for Public History at 在线博彩, I continue to work toward the development of 在线博彩Maps, a project to create a digital mapping platform that tells the stories and reveals the spaces, places, scales, and natures that constitute our university and our campus. In previous research I examined the spatiality of Florida farmer workers' struggles for improved wages and workplace rights; studied the geography hunger and poverty in the United States; and analyzed the proposed relocation of an overnight shelter from the standpoint of the homeless men and women who used it.
