jamie gillen, ph.d.
I came to Miami in the fall of 2007. I received a PhD in Geography from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2008, a Master of Arts degree in Geography from the University of Kentucky in 2003, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing Management from Virginia Tech in 1999. My research interests center on entrepreneurialism and the urban cultural economy in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
