Curriculum Vitae

Bio

I am an environmental and social geographer with backgrounds in geology and hydrogeology. My research interests are:

• Sustainable Land Resource Development
• Africa and African Diaspora
• Ethnic Geographic Education

My research is at the intersection of the sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, with an applied, policy and community engaged focus. I explore various dimensions of resource extraction and management, particularly minerals and water. Topics include resource use and policy (sustainable development, sustainable livelihoods, indigenous knowledge systems), resource problems (equitable distribution, environmental deterioration, conflict, cultural alienation), community development, cultural heritage preservation, and environmental and sociocultural justice.
