Her undergraduate degree is in education with a major in history, and her PhD (from the University of Queensland, Australia) is in sociology. At one time she was the Head of the Educational Foundations Department at the University of Regina. She has received a number of awards, including a Canada Council citation of ‘Master Teacher’ when she was teaching secondary school in the public school system. The Humanist Association of Canada named her Canadian Humanist of the Year 2000, and she received the Distinguished Humanist Service Award from the American Humanist Association in 2001. She was the Canadian voice on the committee of drafters of the new Humanist Manifesto III issued in Washington, DC in 2003 by the American Humanist Association. She is the author of over eighty articles and chapters in books, as well as a few poems and short stories. Her scholarly articles have been appeared in journals in Holland, Norway and Belgium, Britain, Ireland and Australia as well as in Canada and the United States. Her 1975 textbook, A SOCIOLOGY OF CANADIAN EDUCATION (Toronto, ON: Nelson of Canada, 1975) was the first ever published on that subject, and was widely used (both nationally and internationally) for over a decade. Three of her books are currently in print. They are: LEAVING THE CAVE: Evolutionary Naturalism in Social Scientific Thought” (Waterloo, ON: Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 1996); BUILDING CHARACTER AND CULTURE (Westport, CT: Praeger, 1999); and THE ROAD TO REASON: Landmarks in the Evolution of Humanist Thought” (Ottawa, ON: Canadian Humanist Publications, 2nd Ed., 2003). Her latest book,“THE ROAD TO REASON, has been translated into Japanese and will be published in Japan in early 2004. A Korean translation has also now been completed.ver menos
