Lecture: Louise Bordelon

Louise Cheetham Bordelon is an assistant professor of landscape architecture at the University of Colorado Denver in the Geography, Planning, and Design Landscape Architecture Department in the College of Architecture and Planning.

Bordelon will present a lecture at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, in Ken and Linda Sue Shollmier Hall, Room 250 of Vol Walker Hall, on the U of A campus as part of the fall 2025 lecture series in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design. A reception will follow in the Vol Walker Hall lobby.

Bordelon’s lecture is also the keynote talk for Trail Mix, an interdisciplinary symposium and workshop dedicated to sustainable mountain bike trail design hosted by the Fay Jones School on Oct. 3-5.

This lecture is presented in partnership with NorthWest Arkansas Community College.

In Bordelon’s lecture, “The Landscape of Mountain Biking,” she will explain how her research as a cultural geographer and landscape architect led to the use of images and social media as a tool for understanding tourist landscapes and expands on her published work relating to mountain biking as a driver for tourism development.
