welcome

Welcome to my website. Note that it is really three or four sites in one, depending on how you look at things. I suggest looking at them as wings of a building, or at least rooms. These include:

This intro page, which features information on my research in political science and urban politics and policy, along with a copy of my cv and resume. If you have received an application package from me for a research or academic job, take some time to look at my research, writing and other background material.

Otherwise, note that I have a strong interest in community development, as well as issues related to community organization. Even so, I consider myself to be a public policy generalist.

I am also a resident of New Orleans. It was the study of the Crescent City’s post-Katrina recovery that brought me here. I am no longer doing what I came here to do; namely, work as a visiting assistant professor at the University of New Orleans’ political science department. As my research page explains, however, I have an ongoing research interest in the city’s recovery.

This site is not limited to the discussion of politics and policy research, a fact which brings me to the other wings of this site’s house. It includes a blog and (coming soon) a photography portfolio page. The sites are an outgrowth of my professional background in print journalism. I also have some professional training and experience in newspaper photography, but I have grown more as a photographer in recent years as a hobbyist.

If you are interested in more information, please write. Thank you for visiting!
