I am an #assistantprofessor in the Department of Geography at Texas State University. You can find me on Twitter @drhiner or on ResearchGate at Colleen Myles.

I am a rural geographer and political ecologist with specialties in land and environmental management; (ex)urbanization; (rural) sustainability and tourism; wine,  beer, and cider geographies (or what I like to call “fermented landscapes”); and agriculture, inclusive of urban, peri-urban, and “local”.
