WORK HISTORY
Co-director @The Cooperative Society Project
The Cooperative Society Project\'s two-part mission is: To gather information on whether or not humans are on the threshold of a new historical stage, one characterized by cooperation, democracy, the equitable distribution of resources, and a sustainable relationship with nature; andTo propose strategic actions to increase the likelihood that this transition will occur.The Cooperative Society is organized in three parts: an elaboration of the hypothesis; a \"test\" of the hypothesis based on measurement of seven broad variables; and a set of observations and recommendations on ways to increase the likelihood that we move toward a more cooperative society during the next several decades.Other work experienceFrom February 2014 to September 2015, I served as the research director for the US Overseas Cooperative Development Council (OCDC), and organized the International Cooperative Research Group, a division of OCDC.In 2012, I wrote “The Cooperative Solution: How the United States can tame recessions, reduce inequality, and protect the environment.” I also co-authored “Cooperation Works!” with David Thompson in 1996.In 1985, I founded Cooperative Development Services, a pioneering co-op business-planning organization in the United States. During a period of 30 years, from 1985 to the present, I have been doing domestic and international consulting work for Cooperative Development Services, the National Cooperative Business Association/CLUSA, Land O’ Lakes International Development Division, the Overseas Cooperative Development Council, and other organizations. I carried out more than 25 international research and development projects since served on the faculty of the Master in Management – Cooperatives and Credit Unions Program – at St. Mary’s University in Halifax, N.S, from 2004 to 2013. I also taught 15 sociology courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Perpignan, France.
