I’m a Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Geography in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham having joined the school at the beginning of October 2004. I was actually born in Fredericton, New Brunswick though I grew up in Calgary. I moved to Vancouver to study and spent the better part of 10 years at the University of British Columbia. I also lived in Germany while I was working on my PhD spending time in Berlin, Heidelberg, and Mainz. I’m currently working on two book projects. One focuses on the historical and political geography of the German Hausbesetzerbewegung (squatter movement) from the 1960s onwards. The other explores the relationship between landscape and representation in contemporary photographic practice.
I thought I’d set up this blog as an attempt to experiment with and think through different geographical approaches to aesthetics and politics.
Rocks in Auburn
Which Auburn? I’m thinking Placer County, California, based on the rocks and vegetation.
All: If you live in the United States, please take this survey sponsored by the American Geographic Society. You do not have to like geography to take it :)
Who can be an urban ecological citizen? Who has “rights to the city,” as well as obligations, duties, and the necessary virtues, to play a legitimate role in keeping it healthy? Traditionalists argue that citizenship involves enforceable contracts. But moral as well as contractual, legal aspects matter, resulting in an ecological citizenship that includes nonhumans. Such citizenship revolves around the pursuit of ecological justice and is underpinned by an ethics of care… This ethic is not rooted in some generalized compassion or sense of responsibility, but rather in co-evolutionary processes… Citizenly relations thus stretch across the nature-society divide.
