Biography
I received my graduate training at the University of Toronto, receiving my M.A. in 1970 and Ph.D. in 1974. I have had teaching appointments at University of Cincinnati, Northwestern University, and the University of Victoria. After a six year break from academia to participate in a CIDA development initiative based in the Ministry of Planning and Finance in Kenya, I returned to Canada and began teaching in the Geography Dept. and GISLAB at Queen’s in 1998-1999.
