Health geography; rural and remote health and
health care; population and social change in resource-dependent communities;
spatiality of health care practice
My research interests are in the field of health geography, focusing primarily
on formal and informal health service provision in rural and remote locations.
I am presently involved in a number of research projects looking at various
ways in which processes of health care delivery and place-making interact.
These projects include: a longitudinal study of the role of networks and
partnerships in bringing about local primary health care transformation and
integration; ongoing study of the impacts of distributed medical education
programs for recruitment and retention of health professionals in both host and
target communities; and an exploratory study of the transformative role of
voluntarism and the voluntary sector in aging resource-based communities.
I enjoy sharing my research
interests with students at the undergraduate and graduate level. I offer GEOG
308 (Introduction to Medical Geography), which gives students a grounding in
the concepts and techniques of health geography. Senior undergraduate and
graduate students may also wish to take GEOG 428/628 (Advanced Medical Geography),
which requires students to undertake health geography research of their own,
either individually or in groups, on mutually agreeable topics.
