Restructured and currently teach this graduate core course which provides an overview of land use planning frameworks, institutions, methods, and processes in the US. The first half of the course focuses on land use foundations (sustainability; the relationship of equity, justice, and racism to land use/land use planning in the US; land use and land use planning ethics; types and scales of land use plans; plan evaluation; sustainable community design and development; the relationship of public participation to land use planning; and plan-making processes). In the second half of the class, students study a place and develop a “state of the community” report, a land suitability analysis, a land use policy plan, and a future land use plan.Introduction to Urban Ecology (UT Austin; CRP 383; fall 2017-present). Developed and currently teach this graduate elective focused on ecology in cities (e.g., how do urban bird populations differ from rural ones?), the ecology of cities (e.g., what are the energy, material and information flows of a city?), and ecology for cities (e.g., how do we use urban ecological knowledge to make cities healthier, safer and more equitable and vibrant places to live?). This course provides students with an introduction to key urban ecological concepts and an exploration of how to apply those concepts from a planning and design perspective. Water Resources Planning (UT Austin; CRP 387C; spring 2013-present). Restructured and currently teach this graduate elective focused on general planning principles in water resource management as applied to contemporary and future water needs. The course provides students with the ability to understand and synthesize water fundamentals, various interactions of water with human settlements, and current and future water uses and strategies. Urban Agriculture Systems (UT Austin; CRP 384; fall 2013-present). Developed and currently teach this graduate elective introducing students to urban agricultural systems planning, implementation, and mitigation. This course provides an introduction to urban food systems and planning; helps students understand and apply planning frameworks and tools to urban agricultural systems; and critically examines incorporation of social justice, community development, environmental health, and economic development goals. Nonprofit Management (University of Oregon; PPPM 680; fall 2008). Restructured and taught this required graduate course for students in the Nonprofit Management Certificate Program. This class explores legal, administrative, and organizational issues surrounding nonprofits and provides an overview of how to manage nonprofit organizations for superior performance in an ethical and responsible manner.Land Conservation (Cornell University; CRP 553; fall 2006). Developed and taught this graduate seminar focused on development of creative and informed approaches to the implementation of land conservation. This course provides an overview of issues relevant to contemporary land conservation, history, and current status of land conservation policies and programs in the US, and an introduction to acquisition and financing tools used to protect open space, including long-term stewardship. Undergraduate Writing Seminar: The Changing Nature of Land Ownership in the US (Cornell University; CRP 109; spring 2006). Developed and taught this undergraduate writing seminar focused on property and ownership in the US. Students mastered the university-wide writing curriculum fundamentals though the context of learning about shifting practices of land ownership and evolving theories of property in the United States.Advising activitiesDoctoral studentsClare Zutz, Community and Regional Planning (doctoral student) (chair) Steven Richter, Community and Regional Planning (doctoral student)Deidre Zoll, Community and Regional Planning (doctoral candidate)Edward D.
