Jonathan Mann Burkham, a Midwesterner by birth and disposition, is associate professor of human geography at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. His research, which has taken him to live and work in Mexico and Peru, explores the intersection of economic development and migration with a focus on how labor markets are affected by demographic trends. While he likes to imagine himself a world traveler and mountain man, Burkham more often spends his time running the hills and greenways near his home on Lake Michigan. He lives in Milwaukee with his wife and two daughters.
