Staff

Sue Foley
(1989) Administrative Coordinator at SSU in the Counseling Department (from '89-'98) and Hutchins. Prior to her service at SSU, she worked as an office manager for an accounting firm and the Building Industry Association, had her own business and spent 20 years in the airline industry. She lives two miles from campus with her husband, dog, and three cats.

Thomas Cooper
(1999) I arrived at SSU in 1993 and earned a BA in Psychology, and later earned a MA in Marriage Family Therapy in 1999. I worked with Sue as a student assistant in the SSU Counseling Department and leapt at the chance to work with her again in the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies. I am an avid Oakland A's fan, love to cook and grow flowers and live with my wife and two cats in the Petaluma countryside. I divide my work between academic advising for Hutchins and a therapist in private practice in Petaluma and Rohnert Park.

Michael Scott, Ph.D. -Dr. Scott received his Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He has a wide ranging career in international organizations, including three years service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador, nine years as Director of Oxfam America's overseas program and frequent consultancies with the United Nations. His work includes action research and publication on issues of international development, agrarian reform and food policy, famine and disaster. His teaching is marked by his intimate experience with the third world and his concrete sense of global issues. That he can speak of Afghanistan from personal experience and study at this particular moment is not lost on his students.

Leny Strobel, Ed.D.-I've taught various courses at Hutchins including Practice of Culture, Culture and Identity, Rewriting the Self, Postcolonial and Postmodern Identity. In the past year my book, Coming Full Circle: The Process of Decolonization Among Post-1965 Filipino Americans, was published and I've been traveling here and there to talk about the book to various groups. Its first stop was in Milwaukee where I was awarded the 36th Gamaliel Chair in Peace and Justice by the Greater Milwaukee Lutheran Campus Ministry; have since made public talks at CSU San Bernardino, George Washington University in DC, Los Angeles, UC Berkeley, and other communities, and recently to the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. A reader of the book created an online discussion group on decolonization at pagbabalikloob@yahoogroups.com which I moderate.

Rob Weiner, Ph.D.-I hold degrees in Philosophy, Religious Studies, English Literature, Politics, and Interdisciplinary Humanities from Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Yale, and the University of Cologne. I served as Chair of Liberal Arts at John F. Kennedy University, Coordinator of Liberal Studies at Saint Mary's College, and Executive Editor of Global Digest International News Services. In addition to a number of articles, I've published Creativity and Beyond: Cultures, Values and Change (New York: SUNY Press, 2000) and Das Amerikabild von Karl Marx (Bonn: Bouvier, 1981), and I have scripted and perform the one-man show, A Visit With Leonardo da Vinci. I have greatly enjoyed teaching in Hutchins, off and on, since 1988.
