Another wonderful school year is moving along here at the University of Richmond, where the
campus is beautiful, the professors are brilliant, and all the students are above average.
Welcome to my own little home on the web. What you'll find here is information about the
courses I teach, my academic interests, and even a little personal information (as though you
care). I hope these pages will give you a little sense of who I am--and why I am as I am...
Three quotes about what I do:
"Too often schooling becomes a vast game in which teachers try to trick students
into revealing their ignorance while students try to trick teachers into not noticing it"
Deborah Meier
"All real living is meeting"
Martin Buber
"Part of the job of being human is to consistently underestimate our effect on other people..."
