4. Los Angeles Urban Rangers. The L.A. Urban Rangers is an art performance collective that offers public ts of metropolitan areas (mostly Los Angeles) in the guise of U.S. National Park Service Rangers, with the aim of showing that cities deserve the same amount of environmental care and attention as is normally reserved for places codes as wilderness, like Yosemite National Park. We address issues of environmental history, legal history, public access, and the meaning of Los Angeles - a place that is so often challenging to make sense of. I worked intimately with this group between 2007-2012, and in 2012 co-authored an article about this practice with Emily Scott in the journal Cultural Geographies.

5. Video and Geography. Watch a video I made in 2006 using geographic literature to examine how farms are represented in cities. In 2010 I published an article in Geography Compass describing the production process and the intellectual aims of the video.
