WS 304: Women, War and the Military [sample syllabus]Research Areas
My central research interests are contemporary political theory, feminist theory, and militarism. I am currently writing a book on Emma Goldman as a political thinker, and another book on homeschooling. My work on Goldman reflects a longstanding fascination with her anarchist and feminist ideas and actions at the turn of the last century, while my more recent interest in homeschooling results from my year of homeschooling my own sons while traveling in the U.S. mainland and Israel. Co-editor Monique Mironesco and I are studying gender and globalization in Asia and the Pacific. I continue to study the military in Hawai`i with co-author Phyllis Turnbull. I am also researching the politics of dyslexia. When I finish these projects I've been invited to write a new introduction and conclusion to my earlier book The Feminist Case Against Bureaucracy for the second edition of that book.
