About me |
||
| I finished my
Ph.D. in geography at the University of Colorado in December,
2005. I am now looking forward to beginning my academic career
in geography at
Macalester
College. I am an urban social geographer and have particular interests in
race and residential segregation, the politics of immigrant
incorporation, and the formation of city/suburban landscapes.
My dissertation investigates the ways in which nonprofit social service organizations affect the incorporation of immigrants and refugees into the host society in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. I combine literature on state devolution and scale with writings on citizenship and democracy to provide geographical insights into questions about social justice, cultural change, and democratic governance that are connected to immigration and political-economic change. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation through a doctoral dissertation improvement grant. Please see my curriculum vitae for more information about my academic work. |
