Why Is Nicholas Blomley Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Nicholas K. Blomley is a British-Canadian legal geographer. He is a Professor and former Chair of Geography at Simon Fraser University. Career In 1989, Blomley joined the faculty of Geography at Simon Fraser University as a temporary replacement for a professor. He ended up impressing the department and was hired full-time. In 1994, Blomley published "Law, Space, and the Geographies of Power" through the Guilford Press. This book examined the geographies of law through critical theory. In 1997, Blomley began to develop a computerized geographical information system with data on Vancouver's downtown eastside land market as a way to combat gentrification. The next year, he petitioned then University president Jack Blaney to review the university's decision regarding support for criminology graduate student Russel Ogden, apologize, and pay him full compensation for his court appearances. In 2001, he co-edited "The Legal Geographies Reader" alongside Richard Thompson Ford and David Delaney. The next year he sat on the Graduate Urban Studies Steering Committee, which introduced SFU's inaugural graduate diploma in urban studies.
