Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
I am rapidly getting caught up in the semester details, and a lot of these details are flashing by, threatening to rise to a flood that'll drag me under . . .

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."

Good luck with the coming semester.
Would you say, overall, that Ewha has been good to you, especially compared to your previous uni (was it Kyung Hee?)? Feel free to define "good to you" however you want.
Ewha has been the best of all universities in Korea for me.
My only regret is that I didn't get a position in religious studies.

Go with the flow.
But don't flow with the go...
I'll stay with the play . . .
