Despite this, conflict literature has primarily focused on human geography while largely ignoring the geospatial context of ‘where' conflict occurs, or crucially, doesn't occur. Territorial disputes are highly salient issues that quite often result in militarized disputes. Terrain has… more

How can geography be employed to analyze the spatialities of environmental justice? How do spatial concepts inform understandings of environmentalism?

Investigating the Spatial Relationship between Suicide and Race/Ethnicity: The Case for Alternate Rate Adjustment Techniques in Medical Geography

Description: This work explores potential distortions created by race and ethnicity on the visualization, interpretation, and understanding of the spatial distribution of suicide in the United States. Due to radically different suicide rates among racial/ethnic groups, traditional crude or age-adjusted rates may introduce statistical confounding in both linear and spatial models. Using correlation, choropleth mapping, hot spot analysis, and location-allocation modeling, this work shows how traditional metho… more
