Author Information

Davoud Tehrani, PhD, is a writer and sociologist. Before earning his PhD in sociology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, he received a B.S. in horticulture from the University of Ahwaz, Iran. Dr. Tehrani has written numerous fiction and non-fiction books and articles in Persian, including Figurine, Negative Aspects of Punishment, Angel of Hell and most recently, The Story of Human Sciences. Besides writing and gardening, Dr. Tehrani enjoys teaching sociology, formerly at the College of Staten Island and currently at Westchester Community College. Ruth Wangerin, PhD, MPH, is an anthropologist and retired public health educator. Besides previous public health work related to tuberculosis and smoking, her research and writing has been on religious movements, chemical warfare, labor, and agroecology. The Children of God: A Make-Believe Revolution? told the story of youth looking for purpose and a new way of life. Recent articles include The academic caste system and The adjunct professor as chimera. Although her favorite bumper sticker reads, I'd rather be gardening, Dr. Wangerin finds meaning in teaching anthropology and getting to know today's youth. She has been at the College of Staten Island and now teaches at Westchester Community College and Lehman College.
