I am an educator, editor, and writer.
My writing explores natural history,
landscape aesthetics,
and amputation.
I teach about material culture and the environmental humanities.
As a scholar, I explore the human relationship to nature. We express our understandings of this relationship in many ways: through art, literature, and science, and even through the landscapes we call home. I study these forms of expression, as well as what they reveal about our past, present, and collective future.
