Biography

I am a professor of economics at Denison University. I joined our college in 2004. I serve on the Environmental Studies and International Studies program committees. In the spirit of the liberal arts, my pedagogy is pluralist and integrative. My main goal as a teacher is to create an environment in which students develop excitement and curiosity about learning, process complex ideas, use their acquired knowledge to make sense of their world and feel safe and empowered to share their ideas with each other. My intent is for students to become reflective adults who are intellectually and professionally prepared to evaluate, and to participate in, any argument or debate about socio-economic issues; to analyze problems from multiple perspectives; and to propose a broad range of solutions.

Details

In an epoch (the Anthropocene) in which human activities influence the balance of life on the planet, the decisions made by individuals and societies regarding their use of resources, and the policies and institutions they design must be informed by scientific work, and by collective action, that acknowledge the finiteness of natural systems and our shared humanity. However, the development of an effective cooperative framework has been undermined by the influence of neoliberal thought and policies, in the West in particular, but also increasingly around the world. While neoliberal reforms emphasize globalization, they are divorced from concerns for the global commons and the common good, and thus, have been anathema to finding effective collective solutions to address climate change and other societal issues such as inequality and well-being. In this context, my recent work has examined the impact of neoliberal ideology on a number of areas such as environmental education and climate change, the rise of nationalism, the erosion of tenure in higher education, and governmental regulation in controversial sectors of the economy (with a recent focus on gambling).
