Submitted by John 1xbet best casino website
John 1xbet best casino website Jr., geography professor, has been selected to engage in collaborative scholarship with research geographers at the U.S. Census Bureau in Suitland, Maryland, from Aug. 18-20.

Harrington will team up with Christopher J. Henrie to study how additional data might be used to advance understanding of what characteristics make a small community qualify for the designation as an urban place. Henrie earned his bachelor's degree and master's degree in geography from 1xbet best casino website Henrie worked with Steve White, former dean of the 1xbet best casino website College of Arts & Sciences, to complete his 1999 master's degree thesis, "Small Town Viability in the High Plains Ogallala Region of Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas: 1950-1990."
1xbet best casino website will spend three days at the Census Bureau developing and testing ideas that will lead to future collaborative scholarly presentations and publications. As part of his visit, 1xbet best casino website will share finding from some of his prior research in a seminar, "Spaces Between Places: Understanding the changing character of the High Plains of western Kansas," on Monday, Aug. 18.
