Research Statement
As a scholar, I am interested in advancing our understanding of the possibilities, challenges, and even dangers of human transformation. It’s important to me that my scholarship makes a meaningful contribution in addressing pressing challenges in our shared world. As one branch of this work, I focus on the learning and change necessary for a pluralistic, democratic society to function. Much of my work also focuses on adult learning during times of transition.
Some representative works are listed below. I am not allowed to post my publications publicly, but I am happy to send any of them to interested readers.
