I started my university career in England as a student of law with Wolsey Hall, Oxford. My previous secondary school education (at St. Augustine's College in Cape Coast, Ghana) entailed studies in Latin classics, English Language, English Literature and French, among other things. My university education has been influenced largely by these backgrounds. A receipt of a scholarship to study at a German University led me to abandon my legal studies and to pursue the combined fields of Politics, Philosophy and International Law at the University of Heidelberg.
  Following a Master's degree in 1978, I started my teaching career with the European Division of the University of Maryland, and continued further studies concurrently to obtain the doctorate degree in 1980 - also from the University of Heidelberg.
  From 1981 to 1982, I acquired the fundamentals of computer literacy by participating full-time in seminars offered by the German company of Nixdorf Computers AG (now Siemens-Nixdorf Information Systems) in Wiesbaden. I have been an enthusiastic participant in the distance education (DE) revolution since 1997.
  I am the author, among others, of the following works: The Emergence of the Third World, Ethics and the Cultural Context of Human Rights, Social Planning for Senior Citizens, Young Children and Social Policy, Cognitive Approaches in the Transfer of traditional Learning to the Virtual Classroom.

 My academic areas of interest include: International Relations, Political Theory, Epistemology, Philosophy of Law, Philosophy of Language, Theory of Action - and, of course, general Literature. I have a particular interest in the application of theory to Social Policy.
