Who Am I?

I am an Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department and in the Department of Chinese & Japanese.

To find out more about me, you can look at my curriculum vitae (resume), or my uninformed list of the ten most important people of the twentieth century. You may also want to read a popular, non-scholarly talk I have given, "America's Encounter with Confucian Thought: Three Trends," or a publication on "How to Add Chinese Philosophy to Your Introductory Courses."
