Notes on contributors
Richard C. Jones
Dr. Richard C. Jones earned his MA in Geography from Indiana University and his PhD in Geography from Ohio State University. His areas of specialization are Human Geography, Environmental Geography, Evolving Mexico–United States Undocumented Migration, European Periphery–Core Migration (Ireland, Spain), and Environmental Degradation in the Texas/Mexico Borderlands. His research has focused on international migration for all of his professional career, encompassing shifting geographic patterns of migration and return migration, impacts of migration and remittances on villages of origin, and immigrant adjustment in areas of destination. Mexican and Bolivian emigration as well as Irish return migration have occupied his research agenda over the past decade. He has been granted two Senior Research Fulbright awards, one to Mexico in 1994 and the second to Bolivia in 2007. His books include Immigrants Outside Megalopolis: Ethnic Transformation in the Heartland (Lexington Books, 2008), Ambivalent Journey: U.S. Migration and Economic Mobility in North-Central Mexico (University of Arizona Press, 1995), and Patterns of Undocumented Migration (Rowman and Allanheld, 1984).
Nazgol Bagheri
Dr. Nazgol Bagheri was born and grew up in Tehran. She started to enjoy the complexity of urban landscapes in high school when she observed the city while riding the bus. She received a Bachelor of Architecture in September 2004, a Bachelor of Computer Science in September 2006, and a Master of Urban Design in November 2007 from the National University of Iran (Shahid Beheshti). She worked as an architect for urban projects at an international design firm between 2004 and 2007. She earned her Interdisciplinary PhD in Geography and Sociology from University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2013. Dr. Bagheri is interested in navigating disciplinary terrain in Geography, Urban Planning, and Social Anthropology to develop a working theoretical model to account for changes in the use and design of public space and the unique relationship between the aesthetics of modern planning, the gendering of spatial boundaries, and the contingent nature of public space in Middle Eastern contexts.
