I am currently teaching in the City and Regional Planing program at Ohio State University. I teach undergraduates and Masters and Ph.D. students.
Courses I am teaching this semester are:
CRP 394: The Suburban Metropolis This course is designed to provide undergraduate students with a theoretical understanding of the history, development, demographics, and politics of U.S suburbs. Specifically, the course will examine a number of important topics including 1) the history of U.S. suburbanization; 2) the increasing ethnic, racial and social diversity within U.S. metropolitan areas; 3) the development of gated communities, edge cities and other new metropolitan forms; and 4) the major planning concerns related to urban growth management and environmental sustainability within the U.S. suburban metropolis.
In upcoming semesters I will be teaching:
Case Studies in Urban Housing Issues Gentrification in the City Planning Theory
During my time at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, I taught a number of course including:

In the Spring 2011 semester, students produced a report, Space for a Greener Baltimore for Baltimore Green Space, a community land trust in the city.
