Areas of Interest

I am a human geographer who teaches regional geography of British Columbia and Canada, geographic information system (GIS) and research methods. My areas of interest and research include the application of GIS in socioeconomics issues, with particular focus on domestic violence, emergency planning, and urban agriculture.
