Rural places are the sites of dynamic interactions among cultural, ecological, and social forces. My aim is to increase rural scholarship in geography and to demonstrate what rural inquiry reveals about contemporary American geographies. My research is concerned with how people co-produce, perceive, and experience rural landscapes. In this work I draw on ideas about place, identity, performance, and practice. The central question I ask is: how do people know, care for, shape, making meaning from their rural environments? The classes I teach focus on human-environment interactions, qualitative research methods, relational geographies, place, and service-learning. Having the privilege to work in my state’s land grant university, I am committed to public scholarship and serving rural communities.
