Informations biographiques

Professeur associé au Département de géographie (Ohio State University), Kenneth Madsen travaille sur l'interaction entre les communautés locales et les activités de sécurité frontalière ainsi que sur l'application des lois frontalières.
Une grande partie de son travail examine les particularités de la communauté indienne des Tohono O'odham dont le territoire s'étend du sud de l'Arizona jusqu'au nord de l'État de Sonora (Mexique) . Il s'intéresse également à la dynamique des interactions entre les autochtones et les universitaires et à la compréhension de la fiction au sein des processus géographiques.


Associate Professor at the Department of Geography (Ohio State University), Kenneth Madsen’s research focuses on the interaction between local communities and border security / border law enforcement activities.
Much of his work considers the specific circumstances of the Tohono O’odham of southern Arizona and northern Sonora. He is also interested in dynamics of indigenous-academic interactions and insights from fiction on geographic processes.
