I am Emeritus Professor of English at Palomar College in San Marcos, CA, where I taught for twenty-five years, retiring in 2009. The goal of my research and writing is to move colleges and universities to the Learning Paradigm. I explored that effort in my 2003 book The Learning Paradigm College and several articles before and since. I am now focusing special attention on organizational change and how to achieve it in the context of higher education. I have spoken and conducted workshops at over 100 campuses and academic conferences in the past decade, and I continue to so as time allows.
