Jennifer is in her first year of the Ph.D. program in the Department of Geography at University of Southern California. She is studying with Michael Dear, who provides postmodern guidance on her research into ecological consciousness (coming soon). She is particularly interested in how this mindset is manifested in resistance to sprawl and development. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring Los Angeles. She lives on the edge of Hollywood and Koreatown, with a palm tree in her front yard, and an avocado tree out back. Rosco (her cat) is enjoying the sun that he was denied in State College, but they both miss their friends from Penn State and thus welcome all visitors to Los Angeles with open arms (and paws)." To learn more about Jennifer, access her Web site.
