August 2006: I am starting my 26th academic year on the faculty at the University of Arizona.  This fall I am teaching (with a merry band of TAs) INDV 102 "Human Geography & Global Systems." In the spring I will be teaching Geography/Planning 379 "Urban Growth and Development" and a graduate seminar (topic TBA). My research focuses on the dynamics of migration systems and methods for analyzing human population distribution and redistribution. Currently I am interested especially in the migration across the life-cycle and the linkages between urban hierarchies and migration patterns.  A recent paper reporting on this research was published in the special spatial demography issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

My service activities include:

• Executive Secretary of the Western Regional Science Association (WRSA)
• Program and Local Arrangements Chair of the 46th Annual Meeting of the WRSA, to be held at the Hyatt-Regency, Newport Beach California, USA, February 21-24, 2007
• Senior Editor, Journal of Regional Science
• Past President, Pacific Regional Science Conference Organization
• Past President, Association of Pacific Coast Geographers
