Biography
I am a transportation geographer and spatial analyst. My research investigates the social and economic outcomes of transportation and land use decision making in urban areas. I am currently working on projects related to the distributional aspects of transit accessibility, personal mobility, and participation in the activities of daily life. I am directing the Mobilizing Justice Partnership and the Suburban Mobilities Cluster at UTSC.
