I taught Environmental, US, and World History at Bemidji State University (this will be my sixth and final year due to university budget crisis) and write OER textbooks that you can find in the Open Textbook Library. I was the inaugural Director of BSU's Equity Certificate Program. This year I am coordinating BSU's exploration of zero-textbook-cost programs and majors in Minnesota State's Z-Degree program, prior to being "retrenched". Next year I will hopefully be working for the Minnesota system (or some other!) to promote open education.
