My current research focuses on community forestry in BC, with particular attention to the Mission Tree Farm (TFL #26). I am working in partnership with District of Mission Forestry to produce a book on the evolution of the TFL, its current challenges, and future planning directions and priorities. I have also worked with Kirsten McIlveen (Capilano University) on community forestry elsewhere in Burns Lake, BC.
In addition, I do research in the structure of higher education, including articulation of curriculum between institutions. In summer 2018, I am overseeing the assessment of a block schedule pilot course slate at UFV. In addition, I am interested in the challenges of delivering higher education in partnership with non-academic institutions.
Additional areas of research that I have started (sometimes more than once) and return to as time allows include the study of housing and business morphologies within evolving economic landscapes, and the meanings and mythologies of western American landscapes.
