Kim is a Professor of Geography Emeritus at Miami University

 For this presentation, Kim will share a lifetime love of the “wild” and nearly 50 years of scholarship and service focused on resource (mostly forest) conservation.  The talk will show how her teaching and studies in Ohio and abroad have tried to untangle physical-environmental and human-historical influences on geographic patterns of vegetation types, gained local interpretations of human-resource relations, and looked for ways to promote positive change. At times, she found herself on the ‘wrong side’ of what was supported as conservation practice for what may be the right or wrong reasons.
