Prospective
I am a population geographer
whose work intersects strongly with research themes in urban, economic, and
political geography. My interests are
closely aligned with the sub-field of spatial demography, which includes
demographic researchers from many social science and health disciplines who are
interested in measuring spatial effects on population processes and
outcomes. I welcome applications from
students interested in pursuing any type of population research from any
spatial perspective, but especially those who want to work on projects aligned
with my expertise in US immigration/internal migration, residential
segregation, and US labor markets/employment geographies. I am open to all methods and approaches to
research. However, the majority of my
current and previous students use statistical methods to answer theoretically
informed research questions on the above mentioned projects.
