His academic work concerns planning theory, persuasive storytelling, and the rhetorics of planning practice. Planning for sustainable places, history of urban and regional planning as well as innovative approaches to resolving conflicts are also amongst his academic interests. For his insights, he draws on his broad experience as a planner, a consultant, a researcher, an elected city councilman, and a human rights and environmental advocate.

“Discussing conflict and its potential resolution means discerning how particular arguments are constructed, how those arguments are linked to larger narratives, and how those narratives often tend to obscure or ignore the potential merits of other arguments and narratives.”
