I support WorldOregon because no matter where life takes you, one can't really function as a competent individual and citizen without an understanding of the world at large.  
Other places I've worked: Portland State University; University of Illinois at Chicago.
My true calling: How to make cities economically strong, culturally vibrant, and socially just.  
A favorite place to be: My hometown, Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and Oceanside, on the Oregon coast
