	Dr. Bartley L. McSwine Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, Ph. D., Claremont Graduate School
	My primary interest is the phenomenology of culture and how it impacts human life and institutions. I am particularly interested in the relationship between culture and oppression: how culture has been used as a tool of oppression and how culture can be used as a tool of liberation.
