Welcome

 

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Geography at Michigan Technological University's Department of Social Sciences and Environmental and Energy Policy Program.  I work closely with the Great Lakes Research Center (MTU) and the Program on Water Governance at the University of British Columbia.
 

Key areas of research include:


• Transboundary Water Governance (with an emphasis on the Canada - U.S. border)
• Cultural Politics and Natural Resource Management (with an emphais on the Salish Sea and Great Lakes Basin)
• Water Security and Adaptive Management
• Politics of Scale and Water Governance
