I am a Doctoral Candidate and Graduate
Research Associate in The Ohio
State University Department of Geography. I received a Masters of Arts in
Geography from West Virginia University in
August 2005. I am also a 2003 graduate of Ohio
Wesleyan University where I earned a Bachelors Degree with a major in
geography and minor in English. Research Interests Critical GIS,
Accessibility, Health GIS, Health Inequalities, Urban Geography, Public
Participation GIS, Service Learning My research interests can be
broadly defined under the realm of critical GIS. In my dissertation research,
I am interested in using a critical GIS conceptual framework to understand
healthcare accessibility issues through a combination of both qualitative and
quantitative methods. In particular, I am interested in exploring issues
related to spatial inequalities of health care and (in)accessibility to
health care facilities considering participants’ responses to the quality of
care experience. An abstract of my
dissertation research can be found on my geographic
research page. I am also interested in applying
critical GIS and cartographic methods to teaching introductory cartography to
undergraduates. In 2009, I will be
teaching an introduction to cartography course (Geography
580S) with a service learning component where students learn and apply
the concepts of cartography and GIS.
Students will apply what they learn in class in a local My past research, largely in
Public Participation GIS (PPGIS), considered the impacts Geographic
Information Systems and related geo-spatial technologies have in local land
use planning initiatives. |
