 Having completed a B.S. degree in Humanities Studies and Music Composition at Portland State College, I went on to earn a masters degree in Instructional Technology with a minor in cinema at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I moved to Eugene in 1967 to join the University of Oregon faculty. I initially taught newer media and film study courses in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts and then moved to the College of Education to teach educational media, instructional design, and programs in audio design and multimedia production. Eventually I headed the Instructional Systems Technology Graduate program. Having retired in 1998, I continue to find life busy. I serve on the Editorial Committee for Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology. I am currently the secretary for the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology. I edit and publish the WFAE Newsletter. Until recently I participate on the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts Media Arts Committee and help develop film, video, and media art programming and workshops for the organization. I also served on the DIVA Board of Directors. I continue to publish the Center's web site and newsletter. I write about media literacy education and acoustic-ecology and I enjoy photography and music composition in my spare time. A recent interest has been learning how to draw.
