“Private

Demands in Urban Transit History and Policy, Portland, Oregon, 1872-1970,”
1994, Sy Adler, Chair.
My
teaching interests include (a) urban and community policy, problems, and
history, with a multidisciplinary approach drawing from sociology, political
science, social justice, economics, and science; and (b) research methodology,
including design, qualitative and quantitative methods, and computer-based data
analysis and presentation techniques.
My teaching philosophy emphasizes treating students as individuals,
who are partners with me in the learning process. I encourage open dialogue and bilateral decision-making within
the classroom, believing that I have as much to learn from my students as they
do from me. I place a special emphasis
on recognizing multiple ways of learning and knowing; on stimulating creative
and critical inquiry; and on encouraging students to question assumptions, take
risks, and think outside of their comfort zone. To this end, I look forward to diverse classrooms – including, in
particular, international students – in which students can question the points of
view of one another, themselves, and me.
I approach most of my classes from a historical and global perspective
and challenge students to struggle with questions of ethics and diversity. At the same time, I connect learning to
“real-life” situations and phenomena, both in the local Portland area and in
regions abroad. I endeavor to combine praxis with pedagogy, involving students
in meaningful community-based research.
The two areas to which I devote the greatest attention are writing and
critical thinking: my teaching evaluations consistently show that students
learn more from me in these areas than in most of their other classes.

My research interests
have included urban policy and history, with a focus on transportation,
education, social welfare, and community development. As a result of the passage of Measures 36 and 37 in Oregon and
other indicators of increasing conservatism, I have been developing a thesis
maintaining that political and social movements are manifestations of changes
in a “consciousness of community,” a concept that may explain contemporary
political and social shifts better than the classical “consciousness of
class.” Here I describe my research
philosophy by means of a proposal to apply this thesis to a research project
whose team members would be University Studies students – for example, a
Freshman Inquiry cohort. In the process
of studying the broad topics of the inquiry course (for example, Chaos and
Community) and meeting University Studies goals, students would also
participate in the design and implementation of a research project whose goal
would be to identify and measure variables comprising “community consciousness”
and changes in those variables over time as applied to one or more specific
policy issues – for example, Measure 37 or Measure 36. (It would also be interesting to develop
this thesis by examining the extent to which changes in “consciousness of
community,” and resulting social and political movements, may also result from
natural disasters, such as the earthquakes and drought: Can the physical environment effect social
change?) The nature of this project would, for example, require that students
correlate existing demographic datasets (e.g., census data) with voting
results. Because of the usefulness of
visualizing correlations, if any, through mapping techniques, students might
also learn basic GIS techniques. This
comparatively technical element might appeal to science students, while the
literature review and conceptual operationalizing might appeal to liberal arts
students. Preliminary results might
have value in contributing to a grant proposal, which, if successful, could
fund more labor- or materials-intensive activities, such as interviews or
surveys. The resulting research findings
would provide material not only for publication in journals devoted to public
policy, but in journals addressing innovative teaching methods in higher
education, as well. The experience
would also provide students with an opportunity to showcase their contribution
in “working papers” (e.g., for publication in inq) posters, and
informal conference presentations.
