Cory Parker
Cory Parker is a landscape architect and scholar working at the intersection of poverty, movement and landscape. His research examines transportation exclusion in public space and has been funded by the University Transportation Center, the Social Science Research Council and the Blum Center of Poverty. This research informs teaching in the design of dynamic places, focusing on analysis, social interactions, mobility and cultural diversity. Parker recently completed a PhD on the geography of homeless movement in California cities. His work assessed homeless modes of transportation through an innovative, mobile ethnography, walking, biking and riding the bus to engage with people experiencing homelessness and their conceptions of daily movement. Parker practiced landscape architecture in Seattle for 16 years, the last 12 years at Jones & Jones Architects and Landscape Architects. He led design teams in the creation of socially-inclusive landscapes, in particular working with Native American tribes on museums, highways and campus centers. Parker has a PhD in Geography, University of California, Davis (2019); Masters in Landscape Architecture, University of Washington (1998); and a Bachelors in Landscape Architecture, University of California, Davis (1993).
