My teaching is in the fields of GIS and Urban Geography. I currently teach in both the GIS program and the Urban and Regional Management program. My research interests are in the field of ethnicity and ethnic concentrations. Along with my research colleagues I am involved in a series of large scale comparative studies, working with data on Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, and the United Kingdom.
