Welcome back to Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree! Join Cal Poly Humboldt Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and higher education as a personal and public good.
This week's episode features a conversation with Dr. Alex Moulton, who is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Hunter College. Alex is our first geographer on the show, which is exciting! He earned his PhD in Geography from Clark University, with an MS in Geography from East Carolina University and a BSc in Geography and Geology from the University of the West Indies, Mona. His research examines Black geographical epistemologies and history, ecological justice, community resource governance, landscape legacies of colonization, and political ecology of environmental change. Working at the intersection of critical social science, the environmental humanities, and physical geography, his research draws on a range of methodologies and epistemologies.
The show focuses on Alex's experience in academia as a student and now a professor, his specific areas of research within geography and how he understands histories and place through the lens of his work. This is a really interesting conversation, where specificity is a real strength.
