Welcome to my home
page. I've been at SRU since August, 1988. Before that I taught at Ondo State University (now Ekiti State University) for three years. The current courses I teach and links
to them are listed below.

My interests include economic geography; Africa, especially West and Southern Africa; the US and Canada; and geography education, including pedagogical uses of the Internet. My recent research applied political economic and cultural/historical perspectives to the economic geography of services and to the idea of sustainability in an inherently expansionist economy. I am now investigating the impact of shale gas drilling on agriculture in Pennsylvania. Here are links to a vita and to maps and pictures of South Africa. As a geographer, I enjoy learning about natural, cultural, and economic landscapes of near and faraway places by reading about them and walking, bicycling, driving in them, and interacting with their residents. Several of these interests come together each summer during a bicycle trip with my friend Tom MacDonald. |
