Teaching Interests
I began teaching in 1992 as a sessional instructor at Douglas, Kwantlen and Columbia colleges. I was hired as a sessional instructor in late 1992 at мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾. I have taught almost all of the Geography courses offered by the department; however, I am predominately a human geographer. I was drawn to Geography because it is an eclectic discipline with both "real world" and theoretical components. I am a strong believer in a liberal education. I expect students to take an active role in their learning and be willing to participate in the classroom. Education is an experiential and active process. I will utilize a variety of educational techniques and methodologies to facilitate the learning experience, but students must fulfill their responsibilities by being prepared and willing to learn.
Research Interests
I consider myself to be an urban geographer with an emphasis upon historical, economic and planning issues. I have lived most of my life in New Westminster, thus the city constitutes my primary area of research interest.
