This section of the website contains blogs and essays related to a variety of topics including academic psychology, the intersection of human value with the practice, typical assumptions, and social authority of the scientific enterprise, critiques of scientism and abuses of scientific authority, and reflections on student study abroad tours to holocaust sites. Eventually it will also include book reviews as well as interviews with guest speakers who have participated in the Asbury University Honors Program Colloquium Speaker series (the “Human Dignity Lectures”).
In addition to a modest number of professional publications in referred journals (see selected items below), I have co-authored a behavioral and social science statistics textbook (see more information below), compiled and published instructor manuals to support a couple different social psychology textbooks, and written book reviews for, among other outlets, the primary publication of the United Soccer Coaches organization (Soccer Journal).

Textbook
In 2019, I coauthored a statistics textbook published by Wiley & Sons. It is an updated and significantly revised version of a longstanding and widely used resource. The text is reasonably priced, comprehensive, rigorous, and yet quite accessible and unintimidating. Additionally, it has many unique features which reflect lessons learned from teaching 80+ sections of this course over the past 25 years.
Visit the textbook page to check out some side-bar essays extracted from the text.
