Professor Emeritus, Sonoma State UniversityAAA Member Since 1971 | SPA Member Since 1993

“I am AAA. I am both an anthropologist and psychologist.  In my scholarly work I have addressed how one has to factor in cultural factors of all sorts in addressing clinical issues of seniors, special needs populations, children, and people significantly different from one's self. This is true as a researcher and as a clinician and it is the mission SPA continues to address. I do book reviews in Anthropology, mostly for SAFN, but within the recent past for AWR, AAGE, Urban Anthropology, Psychological Anthropology, and Museum Anthropology. I teach a virtual class on History and Politics in the Older Adults Program at Santa Rosa Junior College.”
