I’m an assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois, where I teach courses on historic African cities, American cultural landscapes, and landscapes associated with the Atlantic slave trade.  My current research interests are fugitive landscapes and the geographies of the Atlantic slave trade.  I lived for several years in South Africa, and my book on everyday domestic life under apartheid, “At Home with Apartheid,” is due to come out in 2009.

 

 

I live in Urbana-Champaign with my husband Bill Sullivan, our daughter Anna, and my step-son Eamon.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments about this site or if you share my research or teaching interests.
