Education

Susan received her Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design in 1991 and her Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in 1986. [3]

Work

Her research focuses on two areas of landscape theory: the role that landscape design plays in creating developmentally supportive outdoor play spaces for children, and how designed landscapes reflect ideas regarding nature and culture.

She has been a Registered Landscape Architect in the State of Connecticut since 1990. [4] [3]

Beginning in 1995, Susan taught at Iowa State University for two years. During her time there, she conducted a research project in the outdoor play yards at the Child Development Laboratory. The research involved collaborating with faculty and graduate students from the Department of Landscape Architecture and the Department of Human Development and Family Studies. [5]

Susan has conducted research with funding from the Graham Foundation, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. [2] She has also conducted research in Germany with support from the German Academic Exchange, in Boston through a visiting research position at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, [6] in Toronto through Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and as an early career scholar with the UBC Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies. [7]

In 2003, she began a five-year study called Outside Criteria, which studies the outdoor play spaces of childcare centers in Vancouver as part of the Major Collaborative Research Initiative (MCRI)-funded Consortium for Health, Intervention, Learning and Development (CHILD) project. [8]

Susan was also asked to return to the International Garden Festival, "Les Jardins de Metis in Quebec" and brought Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) and Environmental Design (ENDS) students with her in June 2004 to build her garden, "Hip Hop”. [9] [Contemporary Garden Aesthetics, Creations and Interpretations]

She was the President of the Society of Architectural Historians’ Landscape History Chapter from 2011-2013. [10]

She is the author of Serious Fun: The Landscapes of Claude Cormier Landscape (ORO Editions, 2021), [11] Theory in Design (Routledge, 2017), [12] Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Making the Modern Landscape (UVA Press, 2014), [13] and On Landscapes (Routledge, 2009), published as part of Routledge's Thinking in Action Series.
