On Interest Area

“In the cultural transformation from an industrial growth model to a future grounded in justice and sustainablility, human beings need to know many things. They need to know where they came from, the ideas which limit and condition their experience and that of others, the capacities of soul required to meet the future with courage and dignity, and how to enact choices in freedom and love. I study and teach about ideas that can contribute to this transformation.”

On Teaching at Antioch

“I think of the B.A. program as a kind of alchemical retort. The student jumps into the bottle, material is added, a cork is put on the top, and a fire is lit beneath it. As a teacher in the B.A. program, I get to add material to the bottle, tend the fire and witness the transformation that takes place. The result is pure gold. It is a great honor to be doing this work at this pivotal point in history. I am proud to be a part of the faculty at Antioch University Seattle.”z
