His work in the areas of evolutionary theory and comparative anatomy has appeared in such publications as Psychological Reports, Acta Biotheoretica, the British Medical Journal, and the Annals of Human Biology.As a political philosopher, Verhulst writes on direct democracy, alternative money systems, freedom of speech, secession from the European Union, homeschooling, and other subjects. He is also engaged in networks promoting direct democracy, such as the Belgian-Dutch (Flemish) Werkgroep Implementatie Tijdsgeest (WIT), Democratie.Nu, Referendum Platform, and the European Democracy International group. Mark Riegner, PhD, has been teaching in the Environmental Studies Program at Prescott College since 1988. He teaches the biological sciences that combine theory with an experiential emphasis. This is especially the case in his field courses in Mexico, Costa Rica, and East Africa. In his teaching, he weaves together an understanding of ecological principles with evolutionary theory so that students can cultivate an appreciation for the origin and maintenance of biological diversity. |
