Biography
Dr. Nairne Cameron is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Geology. An avid fan of outdoors activities, Cameron found Geography to be a natural fit for her. In the classroom, her interests extend beyond the study of physical phenomena and into the realm of human geography as she encourages her students to take interest in both their own community and communities around the globe. Cameron grew up in a rural area outside of Ottawa. She credits living in this area, which was close to both agricultural activities and a large urban centre, as first stimulating her interest in different geographical issues such as land-use, transportation and urban geography. She also cites the influence of her family as being an important factor in encouraging her to pursue an academic career.
Research Interest
Urban and regional development, spatial analysis, health geography, travel behaviour, and retail studies. Of particular interest to Dr. Cameron is the examination of population characteristics, human behaviour, and urban processes over both time and space.
