I hold the role of Citizendium author.
I hold an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change from the University of British Columbia. Prior, I graduated highest in my class from the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University with concentrations in anthropology and political science. Before that, I earned my GED diploma and studied for one year at Youth With A Mission's (YWAM) University of the Nations. My academic outputs are strongly interdisciplinary, within which I most often interact with social sciences (particularly anthropology), philosophy, literatures of discontent, and theology.
Work
I am an instructor of remedial education at a community college. I teach social sciences, literature and reading, writing, and special topics. My pedagogy is that of critical literacy, which Ira Shor defines as
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]
