 Dr. Richard Jones, Professor of Geography (Ph.D., Ohio State University), has been at UTSA since 1977. He teaches human social geography, economic geography, the geography of development, the geography of Texas and Mexico, and spatial research methods. He has also offered an urban seminar in the graduate MA program in Political Science. Richard's primary research area is international migration, with a particular focus on Mexican migration to the United States. Other research interests include multi-ethnic immigrant adjustment in San Antonio and the Southwest; European periphery-core migration; and Texas/Mexico Borderlands social geography. The preliminary prospectus for his edited book, Immigrants outside Megaloplis: Ethnic Transformation of the Heartland, has been accepted by Altamira Press, with chapters committed by fifteen immigration scholars; expected publication date is 2006. He produced two previous books, Patterns of Undocumented Migration (1984), and Ambivalent Journey: U.S. Migration and Economic Mobility in North-Central Mexico (1995). Recent articles include "Cultural Diversity in a Bi-cultural City: Factors in the Location of Ancestry Groups in San Antonio," Cultural Geography, and "Multinational Investment and the Mobility Transition in Mexico and Ireland," Latin American Politics and Society, both with likely 2005 publication dates. His articles on these themes have appeared in The Annals of the AAG, The Professional Geographer, Economic Geography, The Geographical Review, The Social Science Quarterly, The Journal of Borderlands Studies, Growth and Change, and others.
