Hometown: Bradenton, Florida

Family nickname growing up: Kris

Identity on campus: I identify as a teacher, researcher, community ally, colleague, and mentor. Graduate school brought me to Eugene. I loved the philosophy and training model of the UO Counseling Psychology program because it was focused on fostering justice for marginalized people and communities.

Childhood aspiration: I wanted to be a dancer.

What would you be doing or where would we find you if you weren't teaching or working? I would likely be in a movie theater watching a great movie or jogging or biking along the Eugene river trails.

Research interests: I am interested in community-based interventions that help women who have experienced domestic violence heal, attain their potential, and contribute fully to their families and communities.

Quote you live by: "To whom much is given, much is expected." - Luke 12:48

One thing not many people know about you: Not many people know that I once wanted to be a biologist because I love everything about the sea, but that career aspiration was diverted when I became afraid of deep ocean waters.

Hometown: I have lived in Eugene for 20 years and now consider it to be my hometown.

Story behind your name: My given name is Douglas Emerson Blandy. Emerson was my grandfather’s middle name – his full name was Waldo Emerson Johnston. His parents, my great grandparents, admired the transcendentalist philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Family nickname(s) growing up: Doug

Identity on campus: I identify first and foremost as a member of the UO faculty. I accepted a position at the UO because of my research and teaching interest in community arts. This has been a defining characteristic of the academic program I am   associated with since 1965.

Childhood aspiration: To be a teacher.

What would you be doing or where would we find you if you weren’t teaching or working? Listening to live or recorded music

Research interests: My research defines, describes, critiques, and analyzes the implementation of community arts programs that are participatory, community focused, community based, and culturally democratic.  Methods derived from critical theory and cultural studies are used to examine multiple cases in which community arts organizations are contributing significantly to environmental, social, cultural, and economic well-being.  I am particularly interested in cases where indigenous solutions, rather than externally prescribed solutions, to community problems are implemented. Where I often see the struggle for a democratic society working best are in those diverse informal and formal enclaves in which people are working and acting together for a variety of political, cultural, economic, and educational purposes.  Through my research I have learned to appreciate the important role that the arts or community arts organizations can have in fostering civil society.  

Quote you live by: "Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students." Paulo Freire, Pedogogy of the Oppressed
