A., New College, Liberal Arts B. A., University of Minnesota, Philosophy and Geography M. A., University of Minnesota, Geography Ph. D., University of Minnesota, Geography RESEARCH INTERESTS My work focuses on the development of and interactions among: communication technologies (geographic information systems, the written work, the map); geographic ideas (space, place, nature); the broader social, cultural, and legal contexts within which these ideas and technologies are situated. Recent projects have concerned (1) the nature of the written work in geography, and the development of that work in the context of traditions of scientific representation and rhetoric, and (2) the cultural, social, and ethical issues surrounding the development and use of geographic information systems, global positioning systems, and remote surveillance systems. I am currently working on (1) an interpretation of traditional theorizations of property and privacy as based on inadequate understandings of place and space, and an attempt to develop a more adequate theorization; (2) a study of the ethical problems raised by spatio-visual representations in (for example) geodemographics and public health, and the proposal of a regulatory frameworkbased in part on an analysis of alternatives from other countriesfor the remedying of those problems; and (3) a study of the ways in which standards-setting is a means for the dissemination by particular groups of cultural ideas and practices.

Printed from Minnesota Education Reform News http://www.gbronline.com/mnedreform/ A Letter in Support of the Academic Standards for History and Social Studies from Minnesota Professors of History, Economics, and Geography January 20, 2004 As professors of History, Economics, and Geography at Minnesota colleges and universities, we believe that the “Minnesota Academic Standards for History and Social Studies” ( http://education.state.mn.us ) represent a major step forward for K-12 students. In our experience, too many high school graduates lack the basic grasp of human institutions and of the physical world that ought to be presumed for college-level courses. No set of Standards can be letter-perfect, and signers of this letter reserve the right to comment individually on specific points. Subject to such adjustment, the Standards are in our judgment a reasonable approximation of what K-12 students ought to be learning in these areas, and we recommend their approval by the Legislature.

The Vermilion and Cuyuna ranges (discovered in 1884 and 1911) are virtually depleted, and the once rich Mesabi range (1890) has also declined. South of the iron country, famous for its old-time boomtowns, lie rolling hills. In the south and the west are prairies, fertile farming country. The state has more than 11,000 lakes and numerous streams and rivers. The rivers feed three great river systems: The Red River of the north and its tributaries in the west run north through Manitoba's lakes to Hudson Bay; streams in the east run into Lake Superior, and eventually into the St. Lawrence; and the Mississippi flows south from Minnesota headwaters above Lake Itasca, gathering volume from the waters of the St. Croix and Minnesota rivers before leaving the state. The beauty of Minnesota's lakes and dense green forests, as seen in Voyageurs National Park, has long attracted vacationers, and there is excellent fishing in the state's many rivers, lakes, and streams. Also of interest to tourists are the Grand Portage and Pipestone national monuments (see

2002 Annual Meeting, October 24-27, St. Louis Historical Geography Network Graphic scale from a 1595 map, from David Greenhood, Mapping (1951), p. 45. We are pleased to say that this year we have again increased the number of sessions organised by the historical geography network to 18. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who organised a session for your hard work. We have sessions on a wide variety of themes including environment, agriculture, transport, industry, urban development, GIS, metadata, electronic publishing and cultural geography with speakers coming from all over the world. We are also hosting a book session on Anne K. Knowles book Past Time, Past Place: GIS for history published by ESRI Press in which we hope to explore the issues raised in the book and more broadly, issues concerning the use and usefulness of GIS in historical research. The sessions listed below are those whose main sponsor is the historical geography network. A full timetable, that also includes abstracts for each paper is also available either sorted by network or time Most of the practical details necessary for attending the conference are published by the SSHA wewould like to draw your attention to the requirements of the SSHA to pre-register for the conference. The conference venue is the Millennium Hotel, St. Louis, if you intend to stay here we suggest booking as soon as possible.

2001 Annual Meeting, November 15-18, Chicago, Illinois Historical Geography Network Graphic scale from a 1595 map, from David Greenhood, Mapping (1951), p. 45. We have got together a very strong and coherent program under the historical geography banner for the 2001 conference. I am delighted to say that this includes sessions from the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science, the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, the US National Historical GIS, with many individuals who have also contributed sessions. The final session is a roundtable in which I hope we can draw together ideas on the use of geographical thinking in general and GIS in particular. We have a total of nine sessions who have listed historical geography as their primary network. A provisional timetable for these is given below. Most of the practical details necessary for attending the conference are published by the SSHA I would like to draw your attention to the requirements of the SSHA to pre-register for the conference. The conference venue is the Palmer House Hilton, if you intend to stay here I suggest booking early as it will fill up. There are cheaper places to stay in Chicago. If anyone has any good suggestions please let me know so I can pass them on. Finally, the 2002 conference will be in St. Louis, October 24-27. To get the arrangements for this off to a flying start it would be great if people could bring suggestions about this to the
