Bio
I am an associate professor at Western Michigan University in the Department of History and the Environmental Studies Program. As an environmental historian I study and teach about the ways in which humans have shaped and been shaped by the natural world. I collaborate with colleagues from the sciences to the fine arts in order to foster a shared understanding of our changing connections to particular landscapes. I also work with local communities, so that my research might provide a useable history in their quest for sustainable places. Today I am part of a growing community of scholars, writers, policy-makers, artists, and activists concerned with
the past, present, and future of the Great Lakes basin.
