About me

"A room without books is like a body without a soul."
- Cicero (attributed)

Greetings! I have been at Citizendium since the pilot began. I hold the roles of Assistant Chief Constable and author.

Education and experience

You can learn all about my educational and work achievements by reading my resume. It contains a growing number of verifying links and some links to some of my writings.

I plan to enter an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in 2008.

I could not agree more.

Academic Interests

"I am specializing in the Universe and all that surrounds it." —Peter Cook

I have very broad interests. Among them are:

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 that of critical literacy in the vein of Paulo Freire. One of Freire's co-authors, Ira Shor, perfectly defines the pedagogy 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 tutor students with often complex second-language acquisition difficulties.
