I serve as a Professor of Educational Studies in the Department of Educational Studies. In this role, I teach courses in foundations of education and biographical research. This homepage, as requested by the Department of Educational Studies, describes the different areas of my work–namely, my research, teaching, and various administrative projects. I have oriented these pages for my students at University of South Carolina and present this information as an alternative to such accounts during class sessions. My research interests include Progressive education as portrayed through biographical research and, quite specifically, as represented in the Eight Year Study. I am active in the American Educational Research Association and, as a former aesthetic educator, I involve myself with various historical music organizations and activities–notably, as coordinator of Berlioz Historical Brass (an ensemble devoted to the presentation of early 19th century brass instruments) and as a "special friend" of The Tigers (an African-American shout band from Charlotte). My primary work, however, revolves around the foundations of education as they impact upon the areas of teacher education, school change, and community development. These webpages are meant to be informative and to serve as an invitation for those who wish to explore the field of education (as well as other obscure aesthetic topics). Quite clearly, my motives consist of building communities for my students and colleagues, and each topic strives to offer additional educational experiences and directions for further research. |
