My Academic Background

     I majored in Peace and Conflict Studies at Earlham College back in
1978. After many years out in the field of non-profit advocacy organization
management, I felt a passion for research – the creation of new knowledge
– and went back to get my doctorate in Psychology with a research
emphasis and a minor in Sociology. Since 1999, I have worked with many
students individually, and I have worked on a wide variety of research
projects. I currently serve part-time as Director of the Institute for
Integrated Social Analysis, a non-profit organization encouraging research
on the connections of issues of violence.

     More details are in my
curriculum vitae.
Other help with research such as literature search and article retrieval, running small surveys and focus
groups, and being a qualitative coder.
