My research interest is the application of digital technologies, particularly Geographic Information Systems, to the humanities. Working under GIS Center Director John R. Radke and with the assistance of GIS Center staff, I develop and promote projects that integrate data from the humanities and other disciplines in a digital environment using GIS for the advancement of education and research. This has involved the development of digital projects as well as the implementation of training workshops at the GIS Center, UC Berkeley, where I am currently employed, and jointly with collaborators abroad.

I am also interested in the processes and institutions which mediate cultural understanding, such as museums; the historical role of technology in relation to culture; and in the explorations of cultural recording, representation, and transmission that technologies have made possible.
