I have conducted research on a variety of topical areas including community development, international migration, agricultural labor, rural labor markets, land use and environmental planning. Primary data collection and field research have been a defining features of my research which has centered on a variety of rural and urban communities with a particular emphasis on rural/urban fringe areas in rural New York, Mexico and Central America. My work has been funded by competitive grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Research Initiative and the Fund for Rural America.
