During academic years 2001-2003, I will be a faculty member in Teaching for Social Justice, a Master in Teaching program. I have greatly enjoyed teaching in various other programs at Evergreen, all have enriched my varied interests in the humanities (Love and Work), the environment (The Good Life), human development (Human Health and Behavior), dance and psychology (May I Have This Dance) and Polish language and culture (Phoenix Rising: East Central Europe Today). I also frequently work with students on individual contracts concerning child development, the family, special education and human development.
I grew up in the "City of the Big Shoulders". I received my undergraduate degree from Northern Illinois University, a state college not unlike the one described by Jane Smiley in her novel MOO. I left the Midwest in the summer of 1980 heading Northwest to attend graduate school at the University of Oregon and Oregon State University. I now find myself quite at home in the mist and woods of the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
