CV Note

Dr. Jean-Paul Rodrigue received a Ph.D. in Transport Geography from the Université de Montréal (1994) and has been at the Department of Economics & Geography at Hofstra University since 1999. In 2008, he became part of the Department of Global Studies and Geography. Dr. Rodrigue, as project director, contributed to the development of a web site about transport geography and was chair of the Transport Geography Specialty Group of the American Association of Geographers (2004-2006). He is also on the international editorial board of the Journal of Transport Geography, the Journal of Transport and Land Use, acts as the Van Horne Researcher in Transportation and Logistics and is an associate member of the PortEconomics.eu initiative.
Dr. Rodrigue's research interests mainly cover the fields of economic and transport geography as they relate to global freight distribution. Area interests involve East and Southeast Asia (particularly China) and North America, notably concerning transportation, distribution and trade issues. Specific topics cover maritime transport systems and logistics, global supply chains and production networks, gateways and transport corridors, economic integration, international trade and regional development. Current projects involve:

The Governance of Intermodal Transportation Assets
The Transport Geography of Logistics
Gateways, Corridors and Inland Freight Distribution
Globalization and Transport Terminals.
