Current Areas of Focus
Rust to Green NY Action Research Project (2010-present)
Rust to Green New York was launched by a USDA Hatch grant entitled From Rust to Green Places and
Networks: Mapping a Sustainable Future for Upstate NY (NYC-146455, PI: Paula Horrigan, 2009-2012).
Rust to Green has spent the last 6 years primarily working with one of its two initial pilot cities, Utica NY
and is now expanding into Binghamton NY. Rust to Green (R2G) is motivated by the desire to foster a radical
paradigm shift from Rust-to-Green networks in some of New York’s most at-risk communities through
interconnecting university and community knowledge and fostering university-community collaboration,
knowledge exchange and actionable placemaking and community development through design, planning,
research, education, policy and more. In action, R2G uses community-engaged pedagogies and research
processes, methods and practices to engage academic and community partners in collectively identifying
problems and needs and the specific action steps that can be taken to address them. Such an approach and
process is consistent with the fundamental concepts of sustainability: democratic civic engagement,
transparency, ecological democracy and “green governance.”
Democratic Design in Landscape Architecture and Allied Environmental Design Fields (2007-present)
In 2007 the Pennsylvania and New York Campus Compact Consortium (PACC/NYCC) embarked on the
project, “Building on Our Strengths: Transforming Institutions through Service-Learning in the Academic
Disciplines.” As one of the 16 awardees of a 3-year Consortium Grant, I joined a group of peers from NY and
PA universities in launching a cross-institutional network called the Erasing Boundaries Network to expand
and strengthen our capacity in service-learning and engaged design and planning. Our efforts have
contributed to the democratic discourse through such things as the launching of two symposia, the publication
of two edited book volumes, the creation and stewardship of a service-learning and community engagement
track in the annual conference of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture, and the dossier review
and mentoring of tenure and promotion packages at universities throughout the United States. Of course,
here at Cornell, my service-learning and community-engaged teaching and research via Rust to Green ties
directly to my larger concern for the role of democracy and democratic civic engagement in design education,
research and practice. We are part of a larger movement around democratic design emerging from a variety of
streams and converging to take a myriad of forms and identities. One of those better known at the moment is
public interest design (PID) which in the words of its founder John Cary, aims to interconnect design and service and
“aggregate [the] collective voices” of those working to make design more accessible to “historically under-resourced
communities across the U.S. and worldwide” (Cary, 2013).
Together with my colleague Mallika Bose at Pennsylvania State University, I am currently undertaking a Democratic
Design Practitioner Profiles research project. We are conducting interviews and compiling narrative profiles of
individuals with significant experience in community-engaged design education, practice and/or research and
a commitment to strengthening and developing community-engaged design's value, purposes and relevance to
education and practice. Through this study we are seeking to better understand the experience and practice of
community-engaged design/planning academic and practice-based professionals whose work directly engages
such topics as democracy, civic education, democratic professionalism, participatory community design and
development, equity, placemaking, public life, design activism, public interest design and environmental
justice. This research aims to document and bring visibility to the contributions community-engaged design
and planning educators, researchers and practitioners are making and about the value of the communityengagement agenda in design and planning academia and practice. Approximately 40 people will take part in
this research study nationwide.
Phenomenological Landscape Representation (1998 – present)
An ongoing focus of mine is speculative creative research represented frequently through public exhibition
venues and concerned with place-based phenomenological landscape representation–what I call visual
landscape books. Visual books act as a representational mode for both knowing and creating landscapes by
conveying the experiential, spatial and temporal aspects of landscape. As place-based narrative structures,
these book works turn viewers into engaged participants. This consciously cultural approach promotes a
vision for landscape architecture that embraces depth, community connection, staying power, and
environmental sustainability. Each visual book presents a unique “site immersion” into a landscape’s dynamic,
place-specific conditions.
