Props to the professors, instructors, staff and grad students at UWM Geography for helping me realize my skills as an educator, researcher, and, I would like to think, critical thinker! I now have the pleasure of opening young minds to the world of development geography, migration studies, and Milwaukee\u2019s urban geography, which is, surprisingly, unexplored territory for many. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to my standard lecture classes I recently co-taught a class that included a two-week study component in Oaxaca, Mexico. Oh, Mexico, my love for you never tires. Speaking of Mexico and Milwaukee, I am continuing my transnational ethnography into the economic and social ties between Milwaukee and a small village in Jalisco, Mexico. This summer, I will be researching the so-called \u201cskills gap\u201d between employment opportunities and workers in local industry, with a particular interest in the role Milwaukee\u2019s burgeoning Latino and Mexican migrant population play in the city\u2019s highly-segmented labor market.<\/p>\n<p>I also had the opportunity to travel to Ethiopia last year to visit my (now) wife\u2019s family. Our trip included a five day hike in the Ethiopian highlands complete with overnight stays at local tukuls (thatched-roof, adobe huts) where we danced and drank tej (honey wine) into the night. I hope to open up a new line of research on the Ethiopian \u201cdevelopmental state\u201d in the future. But, for now, my feet are firmly planted in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Burkham is pleased to say that he has made a fairly seamless transition to an Assistant Professorship at UW-Whitewater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"categories":[12],"tags":[33],"class_list":["post-489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni","tag-jonathan-burkham"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
