Brief Biography:
A transplanted New Englander, I have been teaching at CSUS since 1970.  My emphasis has been on teaching.  I have taught a wide variety of courses including research methods (!), but over the years my emphasis has been on political theory especially the Greeks. For fifteen or so years I also taught half time in the Humanities Department, where my specialty was comparative religion.  In addition, I have had administrative assignments.  I was graduate coordinator from 1974-1998 and department chairman from 1998 to 2005.  I  FERPed in the fall of 2005 and now teach only fall semesters.

Areas of research and interests:
I am very interested in comparative religion, especially the Asian religions and monotheism.  I have published several essays in this area in the now defunct but one time excellent CSUS journal Studia Mystica.    I also have an abiding interest in the classical world broadly speaking—its political thought, its culture, its history, etc.   I have a couple of unpublished manuscripts in this area.

Essentials of Government, Ancient Political Thought, Modern Political Thought, Current Political Thought, The Greeks, The Complete Works of Plato, Romanticism vs Mechanism, American Governments, Political Parties.
