Today in Geography - Celebrating David Harvey with Mehmet Eroğlu

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 31 octobre 2025 • Durée 29:21

Today we welcome Mehmet Eroğlu, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University. Mehmet is a human geographer with a research focus on power struggles in the production of landscapes, particularly in relation to workers and working-class communities. His work seeks to understand how, to what extent, and under what structural constraints and opportunities workers exercise their agency in shaping their own geographies. While his broader research interests center on the intersections of labor, place, and power rather than specific regional contexts, his current research examines the struggles of informal coal miners in Turkey.

Mehmet discussed the work of David Harvey, a British-American academic best known for Marxist analyses that focus on urban geography as well as the economy more broadly. Harvey is a Distinguished Professor of anthropology and geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and the Director of Research at the Center for Place, Culture and Politics, and the author of numerous books. He has been teaching Karl Marx’s Capital for over 50 years. Harvey was born on October 31, 1935, and on this episode we celebrate his 90th birthday.

If you would like to learn more about David Harvey’s research, Mehmet suggests reading Spaces of Capital: Towards a Critical Geography.

Today in Geography - Celebrating Geography Awareness Week with Alan Arbogast

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 25:41

This week in Today in Geography, host Nathan Moore sits down with Alan Arbogast, professor and geomorphologist in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University. He is best known for his research on the geomorphic history of coastal sand dunes along Lake Michigan. This work has demonstrated that the dunes are much younger than originally thought and that they have grown episodically through time. Activation cycles are likely related to lake level fluctuations and, perhaps, drought episodes. Alan has also conducted research on dune fields within the interior of Michigan, as well as the evolution of the upper Muskegon River valley. Stay tuned for the publication of his forthcoming book on Great Lakes coastal sand dunes.

Moore and Arbogast also discuss Geography Awareness Week, an annual public awareness program, typically celebrated in the third week of November, that encourages people to learn about the significance of place and how we impact and are impacted by our environment. It was established by presidential proclamation more than 35 years ago to promote geographical understanding through a variety of events, activities, and outreach programs.

Today in Geography - Celebrating the founding of the American Association of Geographers with Katie Brown

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 32:00

Today, we welcomed Katie Brown, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University. Katie is a health geographer interested in how the places we interact with impact our health. While pursuing her PhD, her work has focused on how urban transformations may affect residents' mental health in the city of Detroit, Michigan, which is presently undergoing significant investment and transformation. For her dissertation, she used both qualitative and quantitative measures to identify the mediating factors between neighborhood change and mental health outcomes. Additionally, her work aims to recognize resources that may protect residents' mental health in the face of neighborhood change. Based on this case, she hopes to provide insights that can inform policy and planning decisions in other urban environments facing similar transformations. Beyond the academic frontier, Katie is committed to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by urban transformations and promoting health equity in urban communities.

Katie discussed her research as well as the founding of the American Association of Geographers on December 29, 1904, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Today in Geography: Remembering the declaration of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mercredi 11 mars 2026 • Durée 53:08

Today, we welcomed Dr. Sue Grady, a professor in the Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University.

Dr. Grady is a health and medical geographer. Her research focuses on women’s health, specifically maternal and infant health. She is interested in understanding how local environments in which women live impact their health (i.e., increase the opportunity for infectious disease transmission and/or contribute to chronic diseases), which in turn, impair their pregnancies, leading to adverse maternal and infant outcomes. Most of her current research focuses on reducing maternal and infant mortality. She is studying perinatal regionalization in Michigan to improve our understanding of inpatient hospital referral patterns of high-risk African American mothers and infants. Dr. Grady utilizes geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial epidemiological methods, including multilevel modeling, to disentangle these complexities. The students she mentors are interested in a variety of health and medical geography topics.

Dr. Grady discussed her research as well as the official declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020.

If you would like to learn more about Dr. Grady’s research, please visit https://geo.msu.edu/directory/grady-sue.html or her Google Scholar page at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=IdbEU9oAAAAJ&hl=en.

Today in Geography - Remembering the failed launch of the first Orbiting Carbon Observatory with Kyla Dahlin

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mardi 24 février 2026 • Durée 30:19

Today we welcomed Kyla Dahlin an associate professor in the ⁠Department of Geography, Environment, and Spatial Sciences at Michigan State University. Dr. Dahlin is also a member of AgBio Research, the Department of Plant Biology, the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) program, and the Environmental Science and Policy Program (ESPP) at MSU. Dr. Dahlin’s research aims to better understand and quantify ecosystem processes and disturbance responses through the application of emerging technologies, including air- and space-borne remote sensing, spatial statistics, and process-based modeling. She is currently interested in semi-arid forest/grassland transition zones, where vegetation patterns are readily observable but poorly understood. Dr. Dahlin approaches questions by integrating observational data, modeling, and focused field experiments to both refine our understanding of ecosystem function and to improve our ability to predict how ecosystems and the climate will change in the future.

Dr. Dahlin discussed her research as well as the failed launch on February 24, 2009, of the first Orbiting Carbon Observatory.
