I am an urban and political geographer with substantive interests in governance, development and infrastructure both material and social. My longer-standing research project examines how Ethiopia\u2019s planners deal with the social, political and technical challenges during rapid urbanization. Recently, I have also begun a new archival project on the relationships of county-run poor farms in Minnesota to welfarism and settler colonialism. While the projects differ in some key respects, they each ground the governance of social class within a place-based approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Spring of 2023, I am offering two courses. One is a project-based special topics course, <\/span>Unearthing the Poor Farm: Local geographies of land, law and livelihoods<\/span><\/i> (GEOG 394). The other,<\/span> Race, Place and Space<\/span><\/i> (GEOG 250\/AMST 250), is a discussion-based course that balances local encounters with broader national and global geographies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I live in Minneapolis with my wife, Krista, and our son, Soren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
