About Me

Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

How Can RT Profs Do Scholarship?

Today there are few R1 universities with RT curricula. Most recreational therapy curricula are housed at non-research intensive universities where faculty are expected to teach four courses each term.

How can faculty with such heavy teaching loads find time to write grants, do research, or contribute to the literature? It is a troubling question for which I really don't have an answer. Do you?
