Research Interests
I am interested in the historical, political, and environmental implications of changing land use priorities, especially on public lands in the U.S. My dissertation will focus on the particular case of why military bases are converting to national wildlife refuges, the work of science in these conversions, and how such transitions may contribute to a reconception of nature and society. As a geographer, I work at the interface of studies of science, nature, and society, and more broadly in historical and political geography. My research experiences include studies on the impacts of forest roads and motorized recreation, invasive plants, and environmental history. At UNC-Chapel Hill, my advisor is Dr. Scott Kirsch. Before coming to UNC, I grew up in Boulder, Colorado, and lived in Missoula, Montana, for more than a decade. In 1993, I co-founded Wild Rockies Field Institute and since then have taught a number of field-based courses (through the University of Montana) on public land policy, natural history, restoration ecology, and ecological education.
