About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Thanks, Jeff, and I hope to be around several years more ... if I can just find a new job to help make ends meet...

Tim, I hope that we can make it back sometime soon.
Have a Merry Christmas. I would have sent you an online Christmas card like the one that John received, but I don't know your email address. Send me an email, and I'll send you a card...

I am giving you a belated present. Check out the meme of my Dec. 25 post. You're it.
Hathor, I checked but didn't see the post for Christmas. Have you already posted it?
I'm "it," you say? That sounds ominous...

It's a game, sort of. I'll be posting within 30 minutes of this comment. That is, if Blogger will let me. You know how that is. I could not comment on my blog a few minutes ago.
Okay, I'll probably see it later tonight...
