I am a Professor of Economics at Bemidji State University in the Center for Sustainability Studies. My teaching and research is in the areas of heterodox theories of production, traverse analysis, employment and unemployment, Sustainability, and spatial analysis and modeling.
Employment, Unemployment, and Traverse Analysis
Traverse Analysis is the analysis of the movement of an economy from one state to another following technological advancement and structural change to production.
Structural change can occur because of changes to the size or composition of the labor force, labor productivity, technological advancement, and public policy.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching and research and interconnected and mutually reinforcing. I strive to go beyond the traditional neoclassical paradigm and provide my students a holistic, interdisciplinary and pluralistic education. My economic teaching is informed by the traditions of Classical Political Economy and Marx, and the contemporary schools such as Post Keynesian, Institutionalist, and Heterodox approaches.
