I am a professor at the University of Alberta, and have always viewed life as a psycho/sociological stage.  I have spent a great deal of my time writing about driving behavior from the perspective of social behavior, suggesting that traffic is a window of society, and it therefore requires close examination and well reasoned description.  So I wrote accordingly, having done ethnographic research on truck drivers, senior drivers, young drivers, and bikers among others.  Now I am writing about crime, violence and vulnerable people.  I have recast myself.  I am now searching for a light that seems to be covered by clouds.  My tool for the search is language.

And so I found this web site and I hope that it will offer me even greater motivation to create material that speaks to the reader.  I have just come back from two month stay in central Africa where I engaged in  research on village life, orphans and abandoned children.  My work now leads me to collaborating with First Nations communities to establish their realities.  Combined this is my new venture.
