Burkham, Jonathan
Research:
My research is primarily focused on the relationship between migration and the economy. As a population geographer, I seek to understand how economies and labor markets are affected by demographic trends, including declining fertility rates, and the role of immigrants in filling labor shortages. I am particularly interested in how these processes play out in Wisconsin and the broader Midwest, a region that is entering a period of demographic decline.
Advising:
I am the coordinator for the International Studies and Japanese Studies programs at UWW. The International Studies major is an interdisciplinary program, which combines a broad core curriculum in the social sciences with an emphasis on learning a foreign language and studying abroad. An International Studies minor is also offered. The Japanese Studies program offers a major or a minor with extensive instruction in the Japanese language and opportunities for study in Japan.
Teaching:
I teach a variety of courses serving the geography and international studies programs, including:
International Studies 200 - What is Happening in the World?
Geography 230 - Human Geography
Geography 252 - Global Environmental Challenges
Geography 335 - Geography of Population and Migration
