I am a cultural and historical geographer interested in public memory, popular culture, and heritage tourism in the U.S. South. Much of my work focuses on the rights of African Americans to claim the power to commemorate the past and shape cultural landscapes as part of a broader goal of social and spatial justice. My work has spanned many aspects of the southern landscape, including Civil Rights memorials (esp. streets named for Dr. King), slavery and plantation heritage tourism sites, NASCAR, Graceland and Memphis, Mayberry and film tourism, and even the cultural geography of kudzu.
I am a devoted scholar-teacher who enjoys working and publishing with students, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I am also committed to conducting critical public scholarship that engages, informs, and helps the news media, government officials, community activists and organizations, and the broader citizenry. I founded and co-coordinate the RESET (Race, Ethnicity, and Social Equity in Tourism) Initiative, and currently work with a team of five universities on a large NSF-funded project on race, slavery and plantation tourism. I recently completed service on the Council of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) as Regional Councillor (representing the Southeast) and Chair of the Association’s Publications Committee. I am a former President of the Southeastern Division of the AAG and a former co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal Southeastern Geographer.
