Emeritus Professor of Sociology
Retired in 2012, I am currently Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Portland State University,. For 21 years, I taught courses in classical and contemporary theory, the sociology of religion, and studies in charismatic leadership. From its inception in 1994 until 2007 I was active in the implementation of University Studies, the university's award winning four year undergraduate program in general education. In that capacity I team-taught for seven years in Freshman Inquiry and six years in Sophomore Inquiry. Prior to PSU, I spent 17 years at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, where, from 1985 to 1991, I chaired the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. Previous academic appointments were at the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo, Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. An easterner by birth, I've spent the majority of my adult life in the Mountain West and the Pacific Northwest. My graduate education took place at the University of Utah and Columbia University.
