Research: Broadly speaking my research concerns the politics of mobility in cities. I am interested in both how people move around cities and how urban space is configured for movement. This is about the geography, or spatial configuration of the city, hence my being a geographer. I am interested in how the various stakeholders and factions in urban growth debates position themselves and how they conceptualize mobility and space. My dissertation focused on transportation and land use debates in Atlanta, Georgia – the "poster child" of sprawl. I am also interested in a comparative framework between Atlanta and the Bay Area. Recently I began a research project on the debate about removing the Central Freeway in San Francisco. I am also interested in the political debates about parking and the consumption of urban space. I am originally from New Orleans. Like everyone from "Nola" my life changed on August 29th, 2005. With events rapidly unfolding in New Orleans, I have shifted some of my focus to the debate about the flooding disaster in New Orleans and the debate about how to rebuild New Orleans. Some preliminary thoughts on New Orleans are provided below. Vitae
