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. About me I hold an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change from the University of British Columbia, Canada; prior, I graduated highest-awarded in my class from Florida Atlantic University Honors College with concentrations in anthropology and political science. I have numerous years international experience, dispersed through Latin America, Micronesia, and Haiti, and it has marked all I do. My primary academic interest combines adult education and community-based development within the Global South. Currently, I am a remedial adult educator at a community college in the United States. My pedagogy is decidedly eclectic yet with a bent for critical literacy, which Ira Shor perfectly defines 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 plan doctoral studies and have yet to decide upon my focus therein. For recreation I greatly enjoy fishing, the outdoors generally, and science fiction. Contributions Most of my contributions are in some way or another related to developing Citizendium, e.g., see 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. 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.
