Specializations: Urban design and behavior

Summary of Research Interests: My research explores diversity and social justice in the design, use, and meaning of urban environments.  Specific research interests include the use of planning and design to promote physical activity; and gender, race and fear in public space. I am also interested in university and community engagement.
