Nine years living in Africa, including working in agricultural development
projects in Bukina Faso, Central African Republic and People's Republic of
the Congo, and conducting agricultural- related research in Rwanda, Kenya
and Uganda. 

Research interests are in the broad area of society/environment

central Kenya and southwest Uganda has examined the links between changing
land use, the agricultural system, and soil degradation.
