I have worked for the State University of New York for nearly 28 years and although my permanent title (tenure equivalent) is a professional one, I have taught for 18 of those years additionally. I have also functioned as an adjunct professor at a campus other than my own evenings. My post-graduate studies are in an area related to technology and the political economy. I have not only taught in the area I have also spoken on local TV regarding peak oil and alternative energy forms.
