I retired from teaching philosophy at West Virginia University (WVU) in 1998 after teaching for 34 years at Boston University, SUNY Oswego, WVU and on Fulbright Lectureships in Japan, Thailand and China. Since then, I have continued teaching at Truman State University and Florida Atlantic University and have published two books, Postmodern Rationality, Social Criticism, and Religion (2005) and World Religions in a Postmodern World (2007). I have just returned from two weeks of lecturing at the International Islamic University in Islamabad, Pakistan.

I’m currently at the School of Public & Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington Campus. I am a professor emeritus, Ameritech Research Scholar, and editor-in-chief of Policy and Management Review. I now serve as director of the Indiana University & American University in Kyrgystan Project.  Prior to Indiana University, I held academic appointments at the University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Ohio Wesleyan University, and University of Maine.  I was also a senior Fulbright scholar in 1997.
