PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES

Dr. Hagge’s major research interests are 1) Arkansas geography, with a focus on the “Delta” region, 2) geographic information systems (GIS), specifically historical GIS, and 3) geography education. He has presented research at numerous national and regional Geography conferences, including a recent poster presentation at the Arkansas GIS Users Forum, where he won an award for a map presentation. His current project, “Student Perceptions of Virtual Reality Usage in a University Classroom”, will be complete in mid-2019. Dr. Hagge is one of the founding members of the Cultural and Geospatial Studies program at ATU, an interdisciplinary Geography-Anthropology B.A. degree. He has secured grant funding to acquire a high-end drone for map image acquisition and a HTC Vive virtual reality system for immersive in-class mapping experiences. Before life in academia, Dr. Hagge spent two years working as a GIS analyst at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
