Welcome

I use this website as a means to share my life as a professional geographer.  Geographers perform many different jobs, including earth scientists, mapmakers, social scientists, and philosophers of nature and space.  My work interprets the landscapes we live in from a humanistic perspective.  When done well, geographers who work in this vein enchant the world with meaning and purpose.  Geography is both an interpretive tool and a means of being in the world.

My research and teaching take place in the Geography Department at the University of Oklahoma, where I am founding director of the Experimental Geography Studio.  I work in various creative media (e.g. web, performance, sculpture) to express and advance thought in cultural geography.  In 2016 I finalized two major works.  The first is a book titled A Geography of Digestion: Biotechnology and the Kellogg Cereal Enterprise (University of California Press).  The second is the pilot publication in Stanford University Press's Interactive Scholarly Works digital publishing initiative, a work titled Enchanting the Desert: A Pattern Language for the Production of Space.

I hold a Ph.D. in Geography from UCLA, where I specialized in cultural and historical geography.
