| '''Greetings!''' I have been at Citizendium since the private pilot began. I hold the roles of ''Assistant to the Chief Constable'', ''author'', and informally ''Media Assets Lead''. | | '''Greetings!''' I have been at Citizendium since the private pilot began. I held the role of ''Assistant to the Chief Constable'' for over a year, and now only have the time to ''author'' occasionally. I do this because ''educators educate'', and vocationally I am an educator. |
|
| |
|
| ===About me===
| | I am a major contributor to: |
| ====Work====
| |
| I am an [[Adult education|adult educator]] at a community college in the [[United States]], and also do some consulting work for developmental and service-learning programs for adult learners. I have numerous years international experience, dispersed through [[Latin America]], [[Micronesia]], and [[Haiti]], and it has marked all I do. | |
|
| |
|
| My [[pedagogy]] is decidedly eclectic yet with a bent for [[critical literacy]], which [[Ira Shor]] perfectly defines as facilitating
| | *[[Anthropology]] - most notably the introduction and early history sections |
| | *[[Bonny Hicks]] - sole author so far |
| | *[[Butler]] - principle author. ''This is an editor-approved article.'' |
| | *[[Schema theory]] - sole author so far |
| | *[[Orphan works]] - sole author so far |
| | *[[Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago]] - sole author so far |
|

| <BLOCKQUOTE>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.[http://www.lesley.edu/journals/jppp/4/shor.html]</BLOCKQUOTE>
| | ===About me=== |

| |
| | |
| ====Academic interests==== | |
| On one level, my academic interests combine adult education, community-based development, and globalization studies, with a particular focus on [[Global South]]/[[Global North]] interplays, including the role of technology. On another perhaps more important level, I am interested to facilitate the highest possible learning outcomes for every misprepared and second language student, and am a very ardent student of my students. Learning theories and processes are of of great interest to me. On still another level, my interests are very broad, and knowledge fascinates me. To me, the best educators are experts in their field but also exceptionally well-rounded in their knowledge bases, and I try to be that.
| |
| | |
| I am considering ''Literacy as Freedom'' as my dissertation topic.
| |
| | |
| ====Education====
| |
| I am working toward a doctorate in Literacy from the University of Cincinnati. Prior, I was awarded an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change from the University of British Columbia,[http://www.edst.educ.ubc.ca/programs/algc.html] and prior that graduated highest-awarded in my class from Florida Atlantic University Honors College[http://www.fau.edu/divdept/honcol/awards_2003.html][http://www.honorscollege.edu] with concentrations in [[anthropology]] and [[political science]].
| |
| | |
| ====Publications====
| |
| My principle focus to date is on practice, including tailored curriculum writing for programs, not academic research publishing. Given that, I have contributed to Suzanne T. Bell and Yukiko Inoue, ''Educational Technology in the 21st Century: The Case of the Asia Pacific Region,'' and several minor publicatons.
| |
| | |
| ====Why am I here?====
| |
| Given the above, I hope the answer to the question of why I am involved with Citizendium is evidently clear. In short, educators should want high quality, neutral, and free educational resources available to all, and Citizendium holds great promise in these regards. ''Educators educate''.
| |
| | |
| ====Hobbies====
| |
| [[Image:The wonders of photoshop.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Oh, the wonders of Photoshop. [[Image:Crystal ksmiletris.png|18px]]]]
| |
| Recreationally, I enjoy the outdoors and am a lifelong [[sportfishing|sportfisherman]], both fresh and salt water, and boast several 10 pound [[largemouth bass]] and one nearly 15 pounds. Indoors, I like films of every genre, particularly [[science fiction]]. I also enjoy a great variety of music and am a multi-instrumentalist since childhood, having enjoyed some performing success as a bass guitarist.

| ===CZ Contributions===
| |
| :''Also see [[User:Stephen Ewen/Userplan|my userplan]].''
| |
| | |
| Most of my contributions are in some way or another related to developing Citizendium. e.g., see [[CZ:Upload-Wizard|The Upload Wizard]] for a current project. I just don't very often have time to really bunker down and ''write articles''—I am here, first, to help ''you'' write them. Still, I am a major contributor to:
| |
| | |
| *[[Anthropology]]
| |
| *[[Butler]] - an approved article.
| |
| *Others at [[User:Stephen Ewen/Userplan|my userplan]]
| |
|
| |
|
| =====When I author at CZ=====
| | :'''''Also see: [http://stephenewen.blogspot.com stephenewen.blogspot.com]''''' |
| If I show up at an article you've been working on and decide to become substantially involved with it ''as an author'', please understand that I am a perfectionist and am envisioning the day when our approved articles are independently evaluated side-by-side with Britannica's and Wikipedia's. This could get good!
