理查德·B. 彼得森,Ph值.D.
荣誉退休教授
位置
作为老师, I seek to create opportunities for students to actively engage in their own learning, through active discussion and debate in the classroom and by getting direct experience in the field, whether though volunteering on an organic farm, touring the local incinerator and seeing where their garbage goes, helping out at local food shelters, taking part in a work weekend at an Eco-village, or working with community organizations in Kenya to combat soil erosion. I have spent a lot of time in East and 非洲中部 and bring my experiences working with indigenous peoples and rainforest conservation into my courses. I live in Portland on the edge of the 85-acre Fore River Sanctuary, a place in which you can often find me hiking, 滑雪, 或划独木舟.
