My interests are in cartography and geographic information science particularly Internet-based applications; American and European landscape history, focusing on public memory and commemoration; and issues of geography in higher education particularly instructional technologies and professional development for early career faculty. |

I've led a number of instructional
materials development projects in the Web including The
Geographer's Craft Project and the
Virtual Geography Department Project, funded by
the National Science Foundation. Since 2002 I
have led the Geography
Faculty
Development Alliance, funded initially by the
NSF, to provide professional development opportunities
for early career geography faculty. I am also co-PI on
the AAG's Enhancing
Departments and Graduate Education (EDGE) Project,
also funded by NSF. I have served as president of the National Council for
Geographic Education (2006) and president (2010-11) of the Association of American
Geographers. I have received the AAG's J.B. Jackson Prize (1998), the AAG's Gilbert
Grosvenor Honors in Geographic Education (2005), and
the Royal Geographical Society's Taylor and Francis Award
(2012). Much of my research in cultural
geography focuses on issues of how events of violence
and tragedy are marked (or not marked) in
landscape. Debate over commemoration is often
highly contentious and can expose deep divides within
society over how to interpret and represent the
past. I am also very interested in the
development of national commemorative traditions in
the U.S. and Europe, racialized landscapes, the
commemoration of African-American, Chinese-American,
Japanese-American and Jewish-American historical
sites, heritage tourism, and historical GIS. |
