SIDELIGHTS: Stephen Duguid told CA: "I am now in what I hope is the final of the several careers I have had since leaving graduate school. Each has been distinct and yet related and each characterized by a focus on research and writing. I began as a scholar of Middle Eastern history, but despite some early promising journal articles, was unable to translate that interest into a full-time job. In 1973 I started teaching European history in several prisons in British Columbia, and a whole new career beckoned. I began getting interested in the impact the university liberal arts program was having on the students, necessitating a re-invention of myself as social scientist and educational theorist. This resulted in a long list of publications, culminating in Can Prisons Work? The Prisoneras Object and Subject in Modern Corrections. Mean while, having been burned out by prison work after seven years, I entered the realm of university continuing education and once again began writing about part-timer students, adult learners, and the need for universities to orient themselves to this new constituency. Then, finally, in 1991 I was made an as sociate professor of humanities, based on my work in environmental studies and eighteenth-century European political philosophy, and I began writing and publishing in those areas.

"Much of my thinking throughout this period has been shaped by a deep engagement with the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a man who has influenced my views on the self, on community, and on nature—the subject of my current research.

"Servant, Citizen, Queen, or Comrade? Nature in Modernity is an exploration related to the central humane and ecological issues of our era. What is the relationship between our modern constructed selves and the primitive origins of our beings? Are the two at war, in conflict, in a struggle for dominance? Can the modern self in a few millennia erase the imprint of eons of hominid evolution? Or will the sheer weight of our primitive heritage eventually overwhelm the modern pretense toward control and independence? Must we revert to a hunter-gatherer life for the planet to survive? Or can we reach an accommodation with our 'selves' and with the rest of existence? Can we construct or rediscover an alternative path to human and planetary flourishing?"
