About Me

I'm currently employed full time at Ewha Womans University, teaching courses on essay composition, research papers, and cultural issues. In the autumn 2008 semester, I also taught a graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology, a real treat for me since I had long wanted to teach about my doctoral research area. My doctorate actually is in history, technically in history of science at U.C. Berkeley, but my thesis is on John's gospel and Gnostic texts. I've gone from the Arkansas Ozarks through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel to South Korea. I've traveled to Mexico, Belgium, Holland, East Germany, England, France, Denmark, Austria, Czechoslovakia (before it split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Russia, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and Scotland. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

Because the metal cofactor in the metalloprotein of my blood is not iron but copper. I'm just different, that's all.
