Biography, Education and Training

I'm a former slug recently returned to the UCSC redwoods where I lecture in the Rachel Carson College Core program ("Environment and Society").  I've supplemented the core curriculum with readings that reflect some of my abiding interests: Environmental Justice in the SF Bay Area; Contemporary Guatemalan History and Politics; The History of the Concept of Nature.
