Prof. David McGaffey
International Consultant; Adjunct Professor
InterConsultGlobal; St.Mary's College of California; Holy Names University
Participates in 4 items
The Professor has been reading SF/Fantasy since the 40s. As a genuine OF ( I'll go with Old Fogey) he is alternatively delighted, confused, exhilarated, turned off and on, and wondering who is still writing for him. When not reading SF, he teaches International relations, cross-culture, peace and conflict, international economics and management. He enjoys arguing with authors who substitute their biases for knowledge of what those fields mean.
