Jonathan Hallemeier Photo: First Name: Jonathan Last Name: Hallemeier Office: G20 Baldwin Hall http://listening.coweeta.uga.edu/ http://www.heclab.org/ Read more about Jonathan Hallemeier My research explores the intricacies of conflict and collaboration in managing multiple-use landscapes. Collaboration is essential for effective, equitable, and flexible management, yet it can be challenging as people navigate layers of politics, history, uncertainty of ecological systems, and diverse ways of using, valuing, and thinking about landscapes. I investigate the complex roots of contention and the creative work of developing new connections across divides.

Megan Anne Conger Photo: First Name: Megan Last Name: Conger Read more about Megan Anne Conger Megan Anne Conger's current research considers how relationships between Indigenous communities in Southern Ontario changed over the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. In particular, she is investigating the differential timing of early interactions between European settlers and people in Native communities, considering the possibility that Native communities engaged in these interactions in a variety of ways other than simple acceptance or rejection. Her work integrates traditional trade good analysis (glass beads, metal artifacts) with Bayesian Chronological Model
