Classes


Undergraduate Teaching

The courses I teach at the undergraduate level are designed to engage students in understanding how population-environment interactions influence human health. 

Health & Environment: GIS Applications

Spatial statistics for epidemiological research with an emphasis on applying techniques frequently found in the spatial epidemiology literature

Geography of Health

How populations interact with their environments in ways that produce or prevent disease outcomes with particular emphasis on geographical variation

Hungry Planet: Global Geographies of Food

How food environments are created and have changed through time, and the population and environmental repercussions of our current food system

Geography of Asia

Major issues facing contemporary Asia, including population growth, changing diets, environmental degradation, migration, emerging economies and disease

Graduate Teaching

Graduate courses are intended to introduce students to the wide range of disciplines that explore the patterns and processes of infectious diseases and to encourage students to apply the theory and techniques of geography and other fields to their own studies of health outcomes.  Formal seminars are supplemented with intensive independent readings and research semesters.

Germs, Genes and Geography

Using spatial, genetic and epidemiological methods to understand patterns and processes of disease transmission, gene mutation, and diffusion of drug resistance

Crossing Borders: Transnational Disasters & Global Health

How interactions between people and their environments (natural, built & social) amplify and/or ameliorate disaster impacts, and what happens when the populations, environments, and disasters involved stretch across borders.
