I'm a geographer at the University of Kansas. My research interests include the geography of Latin America, with emphasis on Mexico and Central America. Specifically, I work frequently on international university research collaborations with Central American universities, indigenous federations, and indigenous communities to produce better understanding of indigenous cultures, landscapes, natural resource use, and forms of land tenure. As of February 2016, I am a researcher on three concurrent participatory research mapping (PRM) projects in Sacatepéquez, Guatemala; La Mosquitia, Honduras; and Alto Chirripó Indigenous Reserve, Costa Rica.
