Greetings! I have been at Citizendium since the pilot began. I hold the roles of Constable, Assistant to the Chief Constable, and author.
Education and experience
You can learn about my educational and work achievements by reading my resume.
I plan to enter an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in 2008.
Academic Interests
- "I am specializing in the Universe and all that surrounds it." —Peter Cook
I have very broad interests. Among them are:
- anthropology, development, interdisciplinarity, literature, pedagogy, philosophy, political economy, politics, and theology.
- Micronesia, the Caribbean, Latin America.
Work
I have numerous years international work experience and it has marked all I do. One of my main passions is adult education and its role in community-based development. My pedagogy is eclectic yet informed by critical literacy in the vein of Paulo Freire. One of Freire's co-authors, Ira Shor, perfectly defines critical literacy as facilitating
habits of thought, reading, writing, and speaking which go beneath surface meaning, first impressions, dominant myths, official pronouncements, traditional cliches, received wisdom, and mere opinions, to understand the deep meaning, root causes, social context, ideology, and personal consequences of any action, event, object, process, organization, experience, text, subject matter, policy, mass media, or discourse.[1]
I teach adults remedial literature and reading, writing, social sciences, computers, and special topics. I am also a curriculum writer, and a tutor of students with often complex second-language acquisition difficulties.
Play
I greatly enjoy fishing and could tell you some fish stories with happy endings and that are actually true. I also enjoy camping and am enormously thankful for mosquito repellent. I enjoy cooking very much. I also like dogs, and movies, especially sci-fi. I also enjoy contributing to a "fun" article now and then, like Tux.
