Kevin S. Fox is a cultural geographer, long-distance walker and beekeeper originally from Connecticut in the United States.  He grew up in what he considers the borderlands between the suburbs and the rural; the Yankees and the Red Sox; the Pequonnock and the Housatonic; between New York and New England.  He is now driving a Subaru.

Fox’s research interests have included mapping, walking, pilgrimage, the genius loci, beekeeping, the geographies of language, geographic literacy and the geographical imagination.  With a commitment to discussing geographical thinking in more public ways (i.e. outside academia) he has presented work in Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Tanzania and the USA.  He has also curated a photographic exhibition framed around small town America meeting small town Spain via images of the Appalachian Trail.  In 2013, together with Sonia Ibáñez Pérez, he walked the entire length of this 3,500 km. National Scenic Trail from Maine to Georgia.

Fox has taught at multiple levels—middle school, high school, college, university and in adult education.  He has taught human geography, cartography & mapping, Spanish, English, and beekeeping in the United States, Bolivia, Paraguay, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and Tanzania. 

He is the founding director of The Geographical Imaginations Expedition & Institute. Between 2014-2020 he hosted and produced the monthly radio essay program, Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing.  In 2019 he was selected by National Geographic for the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship and traveled to Arctic Norway (Svalbard).  He is a recipient of the K-12 Distinguished Teacher Award from The National Council for Geographic Education.
