Kika’s Blog

Kika, aka Erica Schoenberger, is a professor in the Dept of Environmental Health and Engineering at The Johns Hopkins University with a joint appointment in Anthropology. Kika is my dog. She comes to class with me.

I have a certain amount of expertise about some subjects — mining, cars, suburban sprawl, corporate culture, environmental policy, and environment and society generally. I think this blog will be more about personal passions — the joys of watching puffins and other birds on streaming video, wildlife protection, reading interesting books — and sometimes I write reasonably funny short pieces.

I’m putting this up as a blog because…I don’t know, really. Because I like to share. Because some of the stuff I know is important. Because I want to talk with non-academics who might be interested. So there!
