TEACHING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, CHICO:

I joined the faculty of California State University, Chico in August 1973 and retired in May 2005. I am currently participating in FERP (Faculty Early Retirement Program) which allows me to teach full-time for a single semester. Over the years 1975->1977 I was the Social Science Coordinator for the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and in 1977 I was granted tenure and was also promoted to Associate Professor. In fall 1977 I became the Associate Dean in The Center for Regional and Continuing Education at CSU, Chico, a position I held from 1977->1988. In 1982 I was promoted to Professor. I resigned from my Administrative Position in July 1988 and returned to full-time teaching in Fall 1989. In 1994 students selected me for Honorary Membership in the Chico Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma (National Honor Society) and for the years 1997->1999 I was selected to be one of five "Master Teachers" of California State University, Chico. In 2001 students selected me for Honorary Membership in the Alpha Alpha Mu Chapter of Alpha Psi Omega (National Theatre Honor Society). At the end of May 2005 I retired from California State University, Chico and my colleague gave me the title of Professor Emeritus of Anthropology. I taught under FERP [Faculty Early Retirement Program] in Fall 2005, Fall 2006, and Fall 2007. I am scheduled to teach under FERP in Fall 2008.

SPECIALTY / INTERESTS:

Teaching areas include Cultural Anthropology (ANTH 113 and ANTH 303, previously numbered ANTH 13 and ANTH 103), History and Theory of Anthropology (ANTH 496, previously numbered ANTH 296), Peoples and Cultures of the Pacific (ANTH 373, previously numbered ANTH 173), Charles Darwin, as well as Tourism. I have also taught SOSC 303 (Cultural Concepts: Human Social Evolution, previously numbered SOSC 103). Since 1973 I have made more than thirty public presentations for the Anthropology Forum. I have conducted research in Australia and New Zealand (2001, 2002, 2006, and 2007) as well as research in the Galápagos Islands (2000) and Ecuador and Perú, including Lima and Machu Picchu. Have also conducted research in Costa Rica, as well as England, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, and Poland (1999). Have been involved in on-going research dealing with Hawai'i since 1970 (most recently in 2007). In December 2004 and January 2005, as part of the "Scholarship@Sea" program of Princess Cruise Lines, I was the "destination lecturer" on the Tahitian Princess, providing lectures on French Polynesia, including Tahiti, the Marquesas, and the Cook Islands for two ten-day cruises; also conducted research on tourism over this period of time. In May-June 2005 I was one of the lecturers on the Pacific Princess for a twenty-five day cruise from Honolulu through Micronesia and Melanesia with the cruise stopping at Nagasaki (Japan) and terminating in Xingang (Beijing), China. In April-May 2006 I was one of the lecturers on the Pacific Princess for a twenty-one day cruise as we cruised from Sydney, Australia, to Osaka, Japan. In January-February 2007 I was one of the "Enrichment Lecturers" for the Cunard Line on the Queen Elizabeth 2 for a twenty-eight day cruise from Los Angeles, California, to Sydney, Australia and at the end of February 2007 I was one of the lecturers on the Sapphire Princess on a twelve-day cruise from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand. In June-July 2007 I was one of the lecturers on the m/s Paul Gauguin (part of Regent Seven Seas Cruises) for an eleven-day cruise out of Pape'ete, Tahiti to various islands of French Polynesia.
