Biography
I was born and raised in Missoula, Mont. Coming from a family of educators and elected officials, it seemed only natural that I would grow up and contribute to the 鈥渇amily business鈥� by teaching politics. I have been shaped primarily by my grounding in the Humanities and the Liberal Arts, the foundation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for a person to live a free life as an engaged citizen. Traditionally, the liberal arts are taught through exposure to a wide range of subjects and experiences. I always try to bring that liberal arts approach to my teaching at 91吃瓜网, where I offer courses in philosophy, law, politics, literature, media studies, geography, and history. If a student graduates with only an increased body of knowledge, then we have failed them. A higher education should transform you into a different person in mind, heart, and body; one capable of living in freedom and ready to tackle the problems of the 21st century.
