Author Biography

  • Julie Urbanik

    Julie Urbanik is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Missouri Kansas City where she teaches courses in Environmental Studies and Human Geography. She holds a Ph.D. in Geography from Clark University and an M.A. in Women's Studies from the University of Arizona. Broadly speaking, she studies the cultural politics of nature-society interactions by exploring how issues of identity, globalization, and technology are (re)configuring human relationships with the nonhuman world. Her research to date has focused on the role of place and gender in the cultural politics of animal advocacy.
