Professor
I am a geographer by training whose interests are fundamentally interdisciplinary. My research concerns questions of power and place, especially as they pertain to issues of sexuality, gender, class, and other axes of difference. I also study feminist and queer theories; the theory, politics and practice of mapping queer populations and cultures; the politics of sexual health; and North American cultural and political geographies. I teach courses and advise students on both the Tacoma and Seattle campuses of the University. Currently these include courses undergraduate courses on on gender and space, urban geography, and a graduate seminar on rural and non-metropolitan critical place studies.
