Biography

Dr. Bonnie Hallman is an Associate Professor in the Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources at the University of Manitoba. She completed her Ph.D. in Geography at the University of Guelph in 1997, followed by an M.A. with distinction in Human Geography/Rural Studies in 1991 and a B.A. (Honours) in Human Geography in 1987, both also from the University of Guelph. Her research interests focus on the interactions of families with spaces and places in everyday life, particularly in relation to care and nurturing. She explores the experiences of various family types, including elders needing care and young children, emphasizing the importance of family-friendly landscapes. Dr. Hallman's evolving research includes an interest in caregiving geographies and therapeutic landscapes, particularly how 'blue spaces'—areas with open skies and water—affect mental health and well-being. In addition to her research, she is committed to scholarship in teaching and learning, particularly during the transitional year to university studies.
