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."

Bonne nouvelle année, et tout de bon pour l'an 2016!
Have a great one yourself!
A Happy 2017 to you too -- I suppose this to be the "new" year there, where you are already in 2016!
"Bonne nouvelle année, et tout de bon pour l'an 2016"?
Let's see, if I recall my French, that means "Announce a bone novella, and toot that poor bone (novella) in 2016."
Okay, I'll try. Thanks for the ready-made New Year's Revolution!
