I attended Miyagi Kyoiku Daigaku (Miyagi University of Education) for a semester in 1976 while completing my BA in Sociology, East Asian Studies, and Japanese at the University of Minnesota. I also worked for 15 years as an academic advisor and admissions committee member for non-traditional students, and for PhD students in the interdisciplinary fields of artificial intelligence, cognitive science and education, and of nanotechnology, imaging sciences, biology, chemistry, engineering, and neuroscience. I'm a huge fan of interdisciplinary development, and though it is quite accepted these days, back in the 70s I was considered highly disruptive just for combining Japanese with Sociology at an American University. You can probably tell, I believe everything is connected with everything, regardless of our ability to see or understand it at a particular junction in time.
