Kevin Blake
|
Despite residing in Manhattan and working at K-State since 2000, Kevin still maintains a strong allegiance to the Jayhawks and the Department of Geography at KU. The geography courses he took during his undergraduate work in business helped him get a job in the natural gas industry in the early 1980s. By the late-1980s, however, his travels and passion for geography propelled him to enter graduate school and complete a master’s thesis in cultural geography under the tutelage of Pete Shortridge. Kevin’s research and teaching interests include cultural geography, place identity, culture-nature interactions, mountain symbolism, and the American West. |
