Stacie A. Townsend, M.A.
I am a PhD candidate in the Geography Graduate Group at UC Davis and Part-Time Faculty at CSU Northridge. I am pursuing a career in higher education and academic Geography, particularly focused on Cultural Geography and the GeoHumanities. With my background in Sociology and other social sciences, I welcome the opportunity to teach or work with any geography or global history course, introductory cultural studies, environmental studies, international relations, american studies, or regional studies course.
