Stephen Ewen holds a B.A. in Liberal Arts & Sciences from Florida Atlantic University Honors College, and an M.Ed. in Adult Learning & Global Change from the University of British Columbia. He is an English learning specialist and instructor at a community college.
 
'''Greetings!''' I have been at Citizendium since the pilot began. I hold the roles of ''Assistant to the Chief Constable'', ''author'', and informally ''Media Assets Lead''.
 
===Education and experience===
You can learn about my educational and work achievements by [http://bellsouthpwp.net/e/w/ewenste/Stephen.Ewen.E-CV.html 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."'' &mdash;Peter Cook
 
I have very broad interests. Among them are:
 
*[[anthropology]], development, [[interdisciplinarity]], literature, pedagogy, philosophy, political economy, politics, theology, and wikis.
*[[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
 
<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>
[[Image:Saipanese Boonie Dog.jpg|right|130px|"Siren" is a Saipanese "Boonie Dog"]]
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 additionally enjoy cooking, movies (especially sci-fi), and [[dogs]].  I also enjoy contributing to a "fun" article now and then, like [[Tux]].
 
===Contributions===
Obviously, most of my contributions are "meta"-related or behind-the-scenes.  I just don't have time very often to really bunker down and ''write articles''&mdash;I am here, first, to help ''you'' write them.  Still, I am a major contributor to:
 
*[[Anthropology]]
*[[Butler]] - an approved article.
 
If I show up at an article you've been working on and decide to become substantially involved with it ''as an author'', know 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.
