The first in his family to graduate high school, Dan went on to earn graduate degrees from both Harvard University and the University of Maryland at College Park after earning a B.A., Magna Cum Laude, from the University of Massachusetts at Boston ( Formerly Boston State College).  \r\n\r\nAn award-winning educator, curriculum writer, and a Massachusetts Teacher of the Year nominee, Dan received a Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Scholarship to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He then continued his studies in Japan as a Keizai Koho Fellow. Dan was then awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct independent research to further develop curriculum for his innovative and popular history, philosophy and world cultures courses.  \r\n\r\nDan created and hosted a podcast called “Nature, Sport and the Spirit” where he interviewed award-winning playwrights, sculptors, painters and others about their passion for what they do and their experience with the creative process. He is a columnist and blogger, writing about topics as diverse as the nature of time; impact of technology on our ability to communicate and the cultural importance of honoring teachers.  \r\n\r\nA self-described working class kid with a ruling class education, Dan never forgot where he came from, and his courses have inspired multiple generations of high school and college students who continue to work for social, economic, and environmental justice. These days, Dan hangs his hat in Austin, Texas. The site of his childhood home is now a Valvoline Instant Oil Change location.\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 24, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738204049471,"sku":"9781091203860","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c09db4948668d514fc76a5deb17edc53.webp?v=1765152499","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/reeyas-earth-day-a-social-justice-primer-for-the-98-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
