PhD, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 1991
BA, San Francisco State University, 1979

The resume of the devil incarnate.

[Doctor Raoul]

With a BA in 79, she's pushing 50 and would have been the braless, hairy armpit type of feminist.

[Rodney King]

Guilty!

[NinoFan]

Woohoo!

[Mr_Moonlight]

simply put --- psychobabble.

LOL-- I concur. I looked at her and said the same thing: GUILTY!

Synopsis of course content Modern political theory from Adam Smith to Locke to Marx...

I should have known.

She's also an envirowack based on the synopsis of her course.

[Rodney King]

Here is the synopsis of her course, this is the real reason why nobody should send their kid to Duke:

Synopsis of course content Modern political theory from Adam Smith to Locke to Marx is premised on an assumption of natural abundance and the capacity of human labor and technology to create material wealth. And economic growth has been a principle means by which modern states legitimate their power and stave off social and political conflict over inequality.

However, a gather storm of evidence suggests that we have reached earth’s “carrying capacity”. The symptoms of this include massive species extinction, global warming, soil depletion, dead ocean and stream waters, famine, and resource-driven wars. Many believe we have reached the end of modern life as we know it, and that fundamental assumptions must be re-thought and social arrangements radically re-worked to respond to the crisis before us.

This course will examine social, economic political and ethical-religious aspects of ecological crisis. We will look closely at the work of leading economists, political theorists, ecologists, and philosophers with an eye to what changes in our fundamental assumptions, our institutional arrangements, and our relations to the nonhuman world might support desirable and possible alternatives to our present crisis.

Was she one of the 88 or do I even hafta axe?

[auboy]

Hummmm… playing the lace card?

[NittanyLion]

I see her email address is listed on the website. Not that I'd encourage a barrage of emails to her...*grin*

I'm going to search for this article. I'll bet a bunch that it's whining about the patriotic atmosphere after 9/11 and how it (in the mind of this moonbat) endangered free speech.

Yahoo for both families! I deplore this kind of law but were it my son, I would sue that University to "Kingdom Come", just for principle. Recover my losses and donate the settlement to Charter Schools or Voucher lobbies!

[rabscuttle385]

She's a visiting "professor"...not a real one at all! That Duke has not yet disciplined her by giving her the pink slip is quite telling.

[Dov in Houston]

Good for ya. Duke abandoned you.

[KoRn]

You go boy!!

I hope he ends up owning half the university!
