Favorite Quote:
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
Henry David Thoreau
I am professor of social sciences at Iowa Central Community College with over sixteen years of teaching experience. I served as department chair of social sciences, education and psychology, and physical education at Iowa Central from 1995 to 2001 and have been a faculty member since that time.
I completed by bachelor's degree in political science and sociology at the University of North Alabama and my master's degree in political science and history at Auburn University.
I studied abroad in China (as a Fulbright Scholar), Czech/Slovak Republics (as a Fulbright Scholar), United Kingdom (as an Oxford Roundtable participant), Costa Rica, Germany, France, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Japan, Hong Kong, and several other countries.
I have presented papers at numerous academic conferences and published articles in academic journals and periodicals such as the Cambridge Review of International Affairs, Asian Journal of Criminology, International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, and the International Journal of Diversity, Midwest Connections for International/Intercultural Education.
In addition to teaching full-time time at Iowa Central, I am working on a doctorate degree part-time at Iowa State University. I have a strong interest in American and global politics and often volunteer my time in support of progressive causes and candidates for public office.
