Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
. . . I'll be taking early retirement from Ewha Womans University as of August 31st this year (2021), due to a certain condition that has slowed my typing down considerably and forced me to me to make some decisions about which areas of writing to concentrate on. This blog will take a hit. Entries will generally be short. Like this one.

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."

So! Right on my birthday, eh? Well, it's a retirement that's well-earned. I'm sure the kids at Ewha will miss you. What will you do to fill your time?
Happy Birthday! Read. Write.
