Biography:
"My interests cross many of geography's subfields but have tended to coalesce around questions of power as they relate to the spatiality of sexuality, gender and class. I have explored links in the U.S., U.K., and Australia between urband land, housing and labor markets, regional economic change and the construction of place based gay identities, communities and political movements. I have also studied the cultural transformation and conflicts associated with these processes, such as the spatiality of media representations of gay men and the relationships between sexuality and nation-building projects. More recently, I have begun a collaborative project (with University of Washington Associate Professor of Geography Michael Brown) looking critically at academic discourse of diffusion. This involves examining the social and geographical origins of "queer" cultural and political practices along the predomininantly rural U.S. northern tier, between Duluth and Washington State."
