FACULTY
Research and Interests:
Kathleen's research interests include global economic restructuring and issues of gender and development. She has spent a good deal of time in Latin America and particularly in Bolivia where she has conducted research since 1992. Dr. Schroeder spent the Spring Semester of 2005 back in Bolivia examining its current political geography. In May of 2005 she led a field trip to the Indian Himalaya with a former ASU student Keith Bosak. They explored issues of sustainable mountain development. The trip was such a success they have decided to repeat the trip during May of 2006.
Kathleen's favorite courses to teach include regional geography (World, Latin America and a graduate seminar) and economic geography. She recently developed a course on political geography which she is offering for the first time during the Fall Semester of 2005.
