Scott Freundschuh is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota in Duluth.  He joined the faculty in 1994 and teaches courses in cartography and geographic information systems, and is the Director of the geography department's GIS and Cartographic Analysis Laboratory.  Previous to this appointment, he was an Assistant Professor at Memorial University in Newfoundland, Canada and a Post-doctoral Research Associate with the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at the University of Maine.  He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography from the State University of New York at Buffalo.  His research interests include a wide range of topics concerning maps and spatial knowledge acquisition in children and adults.  He has conducted research exploring spatial knowledge acquired from maps versus the environment, from maps versus narrative, and the influence that pattern or structure of the environment has on resulting spatial knowledge.  He is currently conducting a research on scale in children's and adult's understanding and use of locatives, and the efficacy of multimedia and animated maps in geographic education.
