介绍

I joined 加州大学洛杉矶分校 in 2015 as part of the 地理位置 program faculty.  Previously I worked for Wright State University, University of South Florida, Esri, Inc., and the Center for Urban 运输 Research.  My areas of teaching focus include urban geography, 城市交通运输, 政治地理学, 地理思想, and GIS (spatial analysis and mobile GIS); my research focuses on uneven geographical development within the urban space.

研究

我的研究议程集中在 uneven geographical development in the urban space.  更具体地说, I focus on the relationships that lead to our (re)producing spaces of unevenness, particularly economic and sociopolitical inequities, through our interactions with each other and with existing (and emerging) institutions within cities.  This research comprises three interrelated strands:

  1. Urban eco-austerity and the uneven geographical development of socionature, with an emphasis on how perceptions of urban nature, and perceptions of the right of cities to natural resources (such as water), impacts their uneven developments.
  2. The intersections of urban theming and urban globalization with uneven geographical development, in which the uneven spaces necessary to ease friction of global economic processes are often not visible, but instead exist “beneath” the image of a city.  
  3. Urban global governance and uneven geographical development, in which changing policy relationships between nation-states and city-regions, coupled with extralegal bureaucratic decisions gaining force of law in city-regions, is quietly shifting the sociopolitical spaces in which uneven geographical development is (re) produced.
