EDUCATION
Because of my many educational experiences, sometimes people remark that I must have been a “professional student.” This was not the case. My parents were not wealthy. I rarely had the leisure of “just” being a student. I generally worked at a variety of jobs while taking courses on the side, few of them “student” jobs, sometimes two or more jobs and paying projects ongoing at once. The jobs ran the gamut from blue-collar to professional and, at any given time, I might have been working at a mix of these jobs in the course of a week. During one period in the early
1980s, I was simultaneously holding down a [nom] staff job, working two blue-collar jobs, AND running a for-profit business and a non-profit organization. Perhaps it is this background that drives my expectations for my students to persist in seeking their career goals and to get their assignments in on time.
Ph.D. Sociology. 2000. The [nom] of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina.
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 2
I earned Distinction on the Social Psychology Comprehensive Examination and was the first passer of this rigorous exam in the history of the doctoral program at The USC.
I earned a high passing grade on the Structural Sociological Comprehensive Examination.
I submitted peer-reviewed publications in lieu of standing the third Specialty Area Comprehensive Examination.
Dissertation Title: The Effects of Size and Heterogeneity of Crew and Mission Duration on the Deviant Behavior and Performance of Team Personnel in Space and Analog Polar Environments: A Pilot Study.
My dissertation demonstrated the first quantitative evidence for why some extreme environmental work teams develop a dysfunctional group state known as third-quarter syndrome (or phenomenon) after the mid-point of their missions and why others do not.
I was awarded two United States National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, a regular grant and a supplemental for undergraduate support, during the progress of this research. (It is unusual for a graduate student to be awarded a regular grant from the NSF before receiving the PhD.)
Post-doctoral equivalences. I also possess the equivalent of two post-docs in statistics and experimental psychology that I gained by working closely with Dr. Thomas Gorry at Erskine College from 1997-2000. (Dr. Gorry was a South
Carolina Psychologist Board Examiner and a former acting president of the American [nom], Lebanon.) Dr.
Gorry vouching for these equivalences was instrumental to my being included in the NASA Mission Specialist Astronaut
Active Application Selection Files at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas from late 1999 through 2004.
M.A. Anthropology. 1988. [nom] of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF). Subdisciplines: Geoarchaeology and Aerial and Satellite Remote Sensing.
Thesis Title: An Aerial Survey of Coastal Archaeological Sites From Cape Prince of Wales to Camden Bay.
My thesis demonstrated how to find archaeological sites in the Arctic with remote sensing technology. Included techniques of pattern analysis.
I discovered and mapped scores of new archaeological sites along the Alaskan littoral from Cape Prince of Wales to Camden Bay on the North Slope coast. The project also made inferences about prehistoric mobility in the Arctic and about the cultural affiliation of the sites. I was privileged to have my work discussed in a presentation delivered by famed archaeologist James I. Ebert at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, 5 Dec 85, “Archaeological Remote Sensing in Alaska” in the symposium entitled “Remote Sensing in Anthropology and Archaeology.”
Special note: I was privileged to be recommended to my second Master’s program by the great Afghanistan expert, anthropologist and archaeologist Dr. Louis Dupree, with whom I had worked on the Kara Kirghiz rescue and relocation project some years before entering that program.
M.A. English. 1984. [nom] of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Thesis Title: Debunking Alaska: The Metamorphosis of the Alaska Literary Myth Through Its Relationship With Alaska’s
Socioeconomic Image
My thesis pointed out the themes of Alaskan literature based on Alaskan socioeconomic phases.
Special note: I was privileged to be recommended to my second Master’s program by the great literary critical scholar, Dr. Northrop Frye, with whom I had corresponded for several years and who had read my work.
B.A. English (including journalism courses). Social sciences minor. 1974.Winthrop [nom]
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 3
Literary and journalism highpoints during this period included the publication of over 20 poems and the publication of numerous news stories and news features. I changed majors three times in the course of my three-year bachelor’s program: from history to mathematics and physics to philosophy and comparative religions to English. My academic advisor was the great Buddhism scholar, Dr. Nolan Pliny Jacobson. Throughout my years at Winthrop and long afterwards, I continued to be mentored by my media and literary professors, Robert O. Bristow and Earl Wilcox.

PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC POSITIONS HELD
Public Diplomacy, International Relations, International Law, and International Criminal Justice
My many professional experiences at the international interface have been the most rewarding part of my career. Some reflections are:
· My semi-immersive experiences in Muslim cultures let me know that the Middle East and Central Asia would
become a “center of gravity” in future military endeavors while the US military establishment was still
“fighting the last war” after it was over (the Viet Nam War)
· I realized that the Soviet Union would likely be transformed and the Cold War halted years before many
American policymakers saw it coming
· Because of my youth, I did not fully appreciate the danger I was in by engaging in the criminal justice field
research that I did in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 4
· Had Dr. Louis Dupree lived, my mid-career path might have been less difficult and certainly different
· I should have protected better the Kuwait Victimization Assessment Database intellectual properties than I did
by at least publishing my methods rather than sharing them through informal channels
1978 - 1982
Volunteer. Muslim Students’ Association of America and Canada (MSA) Washington State [nom] (WSU) Chapter
(as a means to maintain semi-immersion in Middle Eastern languages and culture). I was looking forward to a career as a military officer whose value would partly derive from my knowledge of Middle Eastern and Central Asian languages and cultures. Arabic, Farsee, Pushtu and any other related language were not being taught at the Defense Language Institute during this time period.
Participating in the MSA, I:
· Co-organized a sizable Islamic conference in Pullman, Washington that featured attendees and speakers from other
states, provinces, and nations
· Was elected to a MSA WSU Chapter Office. (My elected seat as probably one of the first women elected into a MSA
position was short-lived. Upon my election, I experienced firsthand an acceptable Muslim exception to a democratic election: A few minutes after my “win” was announced, a young Arab man came into to the MSA WSU chapter meeting late, announced happily that his wife had just given birth to a son, and my elected MSA office was awarded to him on the spot.)
Criminal Justice Contractor. My information-gathering services to state and federal law enforcement agencies, in relation to concerns of a federal grand jury convened in Anchorage (described below under “Legal and Law Enforcement”), became counterintelligence and counterterror in nature when, in the course of my duties, I began to penetrate of-interest groups living and working in Alaska. These groups included Balkan nationalists, Irish Republican Army officers and men, a Palestinian Liberation Organization general and his Alaska support network, and Contra-Era Latin Americans linking to a former CIA paramilitary and graduate of the School of the Americas living in Fairbanks.
Chief Negotiator (with Dr. Louis Dupree). The rescue and relocation of about 1,000 Kara Kirghiz Central Asians from the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan to the Turkey-Iran border country, among the Kurds near Lake Van, effectively preventing their genocide at the hands of invading Soviets. It was the first mass Afghan refugee airlift in history. To motivate this, Louis and I plumbed our networks within governments, on the American political front, and within the media. In the days before the Internet, the chief telecommunications medium helpful to us was the telephone and telegraph service of RCA-Alascom, the system that had been installed for the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.

With Dr. Fred Milan, an important de facto public diplomat out of the cold regions science and medical communities
(International Union For Circumpolar Health), we continued to collaborate on a number of projects. A notable one was contributing to a Soviet documentary on Wrangel Island, Chukchi Sea.
I continued a correspondence with Dr. Alexei Polazhaev at the Institute for Biological Problems of the North (IBPN), Magadan, who had heard my presentation in Finland on reindeer and caribou and herding cultures.
1990 - 1992
Unable to find out the status of my direct commission that would bring me into the Army as an officer providing scientific and technological know-how preceding and during the Gulf War, but still wanting to contribute, I pulled together a civilian team of social scientists, statisticians, jurists, and former military professionals, including former members of the regular military and Special Forces, in order to bring science to bear to help liberated Kuwait. Our project was the Kuwait
Victimization Assessment Data Base (KVAD).
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 6
I was doing research and teaching at The [nom] of South Carolina at the time in the Sociology Department. Our department was on the forefront of social structural innovation, part of a “Great Group” of social scientists from other social scientific departments throughout the United States making big strides in social network analysis and other analytical concepts. I worked alongside the creator of UCINET and ANTHROPAC (1). At its height, about half of our small sociology department was involved in some fashion on the KVAD team. The KVAD teammates worked alongside some of the seminal SNA thinkers in our [nom] jobs, and those of us in graduate programs studied with them as well.
Some of them acted as consultants on the KVAD. I was studying doctoral-level research methods with Dr. Katie Faust in the Spring of 1991 who was writing a major statement on SNA (2).
Anticipating an international criminal tribunal would be convened to bring justice and reparations to Kuwait, my team expected to deploy to liberated Kuwait to perform the KVAD research. For this research, we designed a methodology combining survey research methods, social network analysis (SNA) and other social structural techniques, statistical applications, and satellite and aerial remote sensing and GIS applications to serve the tribunal to determine personal and organizational damages and, thus, reparations in the wake of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.
When the tribunal was not convened, I turned our Kuwait Victimization Assessment Data Base (KVAD) methodology over to the UN research division through collegial ties. Not long afterwards, colleagues began bringing to my attention news of our same methods being used to pinpoint war crimes and perpetrators in the Balkans.
Our methods and what we tried to do for Kuwait foreshadowed the use of social network and other analytical concepts in military environments that are featured in their basics in Appendix B of FM 3-24 (MCWP 33.3-5) Counterinsurgency, which was not published till December 2006.
There is no doubt that the give-and-take of intellectual discourse and our attempts to find practical applications for these concepts during this time period at The [nom] of South Carolina and at our sister locations, to include The USC’s
Geography Department, (3) are part of the evolution of SNA and related analyses for military use. The social structural concepts and methods used in various MAP-HT applications (Analyst Notebook, ANTHROPAC, UCINET, ArcGIS, etc.), used by the US Army’s Human Terrain System, are part of the evolutionary lineage downstream of what we tried to do over a decade and a half ago.

In 2003, with Thomas Gangale, George E. Seymour, and with Claudio Maccone, I designed and proposed to government agencies the methodology for “Needle-in-a-Haystack Analysis of SIGINT Archives For Proximal Real-Time Response”
This was a joint OPS-Alaska and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) project proposal. In short, we recommended the application of a mathematical transform used in radio astronomy for rapid identification of terrorist users of electronic communication, for archived and incoming traffic.

Academic Affairs, January 2005.
I became a member of the former USIA Alumni Association (now known as the Public Diplomacy Alumni Association) and the Foreign Service Association of Northern California (FSANC). I remain so till this day.
I engaged the Foreign Service training and testing process, preparing with the help of three diplomats-in-residence:
Ambassador Janet Sanderson (UC-Berkeley) and senior Foreign Service Officers Les McBee (UC-Berkeley) and Celio
Sandate (Stanford [nom]). I recognized deficits in the recruitment and testing processes, made recommendations, and also made recommendations for substantial improvement in the career tracks of junior to senior Foreign Service Officers.
I conveyed these recommendations in person to Ambassador J. Anthony Holmes, a member of the Council on Foreign
Relations, who was the President of the American Foreign Service Association in 2006. My recommendations can be viewed in my paper written for The Foreign Service Journal, “Transformational Recruitment: Beyond the American
College Testing Model.”
With Thomas Gangale, I co-authored on a number of publications and presentations about international legal issues concerning aerospace topics. Our papers on this subject are being used by The Aerospace Corporation to advise senior
NASA officials at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Gangale’s sole-authored book on aerospace international law was published by Praeger Security International in 2009.
Thomas Gangale and I made advisories to U.S. presidential candidates and Congresspersons concerning a number of issues at the intersection of aerospace concerns, global warming, alternative energy, postsecondary education, and public diplomacy. A sample of a [information personnelle] issue that we recently discussed with congresspersons were the advantages of the Jupiter stack configuration vs. the Ares stack configuration for the next American launch system.
Military/U.S. Department of Defense
After serving as a civilian scientist with an Army Intelligence program and in a war zone during 2008-2009, I have come to realize how unique were my and my cohort of military women’s experiences and opportunities from over three decades before. Unlike preconceived notions of how “repressive” the 1970s were for women in the military, I did not find it particularly that way when I served on active duty in the United States Army. However, that being said, I believe a backlash against female military career opportunities began ramping up in the 1980s, which may explain how it was that I was able to train as an officer over several avenues, but was never able to be commissioned (to my knowledge).
Nonetheless, my active-duty service as an enlisted soldier positively shaped my character in ways that it might never have been had I not served at the particular place and time that I did. My opportunities in the U.S. Army in the 1970s may have largely been an artifact of where most of my service took place, a deployment to Alaska. Alaska was a frontier for women – women in construction, women gold miners, women trappers, women commercial ship captains, et al. However, I don’t think that accounts for how I was able to do all the things I got to do in the Army in those days.
I think the ending years of the Viet Nam War, the driving force of women’s liberation, and the recruitment glamour of “adventure training” converged to create opportunities for Army women and a good deal of experimentation concerning how women could serve took place during the years that I was on Army active duty. While many of the roles that my Army women cohort pioneered are evident in how our sisters serve today, there are many disappointing trends. At the same time Army women are engaging in more combat-type duties alongside their brothers-in-arms, the backbone of the Army, the Infantry, has not been opened to them – as it was long ago in the Canadian Army. When and where I served, there was every indication that in the near future women would be serving in the Infantry (and initially in Alaska I served under Commanding General Willard Latham, a great Infantry icon). However, the doors of
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 8
the Infantry have remained closed for American Army women, even though increasingly more of those women routinely perform Infantry-type duties. It seemed strange for me over three decades later to see that the blue shoulder cord of the Infantry had become a masculinity cult symbol that had to be earned by Infantry training from which women are barred in the United States Army (even though much of their training at the Basic level include many
Infantry skills). So cult-like has the Infantry and its symbols become, that those of us women from my active-duty days forward, those of us who have worn the blue shoulder rope on our uniforms by virtue of our special job assignments to Infantry units, are treated in some quarters as if we are liars about our service to country. A second disturbing trend I noticed from my recent service as a civilian with the military was the rise in sexual abuse and crimes toward military women that, in most quarters, appeared to be “normal” deviance and winked at. I believe these trends have emerged as a consequence of a military that has steadily become de-professionalized by a heavier reliance upon part-timer military reserves and a growing corpus of military contractors. Finally, a more disturbing trend that derives from that reliance is the permeability between what is military and what is paramilitary. That trend is a clear and present danger to the American Republic.

Member, Society of American Military Engineers (SAME). I attended meetings and events at Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska.
Selected for field examination board for scientific and technical direct commission to the rank of Major, Army Corps of Engineers. Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska. (I would have probably been the first military woman to serve as an Engineer in a field-grade rank had my processing not been stymied owing to resistance to my gender.)
Selected for direct commissioning processing as Second Lieutenant, Army National Guard, Anchorage, Alaska. (Then, my paperwork that was in processing was apparently lost when the Alaska ANG was mustered to the Presidio in San
Francisco and a skeleton staff left behind in Anchorage could not apprise me of its whereabouts or progress. This avenue had been my fall back position when my direct commission effort for a higher rank commensurate with my age and expertise was subverted. It was recently discovered, however, that I received a clearance in 1988 as if progress had been made in granting me an officer’s commission.)

Military Honors and “Firsts”
· Among the first women to train with the M-16 rifle. Army Sharpshooter Badge. Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
· Among the first women to train in gender-heterogeneous situations. Fort Jackson, South Carolina; Fort Richardson,
Alaska.
· The first Army woman trained as a combat mountaineer.
· Among the first women to wear the infantry rope and insignia on her uniform. When I worked for the Brigade
Information Office, answering to COL Schwarzkopf, my company was the HHC of the 172 nd Arctic Light Infantry
Brigade. From recent feedback I have received, women in such modern situations may not wear the Infantry trappings on their uniforms -- or else they may not be permitted to work for HHCs in today’s United States Army environment.
My official head-to-toe military photograph showing me in uniform is available for inspection.
· The first woman to wear the beret of the 172 nd Arctic Light Infantry Brigade.
On other training exercises, I was typically the only woman or part of a tiny group of women participating. These were:

Journalism, Public Relations, and Public Opinion (As a Civilian)
My career experiences as a journalist has let me see just how badly the American media at least has retreated from providing objective news and features to inform and educate the public. An overwhelming percentage of news media today is “infotainment,” a type of “bread and circuses” to distract the citizenry from the fact that the United States is receding from the core of the world system of societies.
My colleagues from my earliest days in the media – when journalism was a serious business -- are among the people in my life who have known me the longest and I have greatly valued their friendship over the years.
Early 1970s
Contributing Reporter and Feature Writer:
Rock Hill Evening Herald, Rock Hill, South Carolina (daily) and other South Carolina newspapers
Show Host, WCRO-AM, Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Mid-to-Late 1970s
I worked on staff briefly at the semi-daily Washington State [nom] newspaper, The Daily Evergreen, Pullman, WA.
Investigative Broadcast Journalist, Show Host, and Producer, News Director for Mutual Broadcasting Network Affiliates
KRXA (Seward, Alaska) and KIAK (Fairbanks, Alaska)
In the positions listed above, from 1977-1979, I produced and hosted over 30 radio specials for Mutual Radio
Broadcasting System affiliates in Seward and Fairbanks, Alaska over various social problem topics of interest to the community: mental and physical health of the elderly, policies concerning the elderly, the rape examination, domestic violence, the plight of the unemployed, etc. I routinely had two regular shows of my own to produce and I made weekly national reports from Alaska for the Network for national airing. My radio special on pipeline union reformers was the item that got me noticed by the task force headed up by the U.S. Justice Department’s Organized Crime Strike Force and led to my being recruited into the criminal justice work that I describe in this document.
I also shot stock footage and produced documentary films with Yupik Eskimo-speaking owner, George Miller, of Takotna
Video, Anchorage, Alaska. I had almost forgotten about my foray into videography until recently, when a museum in northern Japan contacted me about wanting a copy of a Takotna Video film.
My colleagues and I at KRXA-AM instigated action from Governor Jay Hammond’s Office to resolve a triple avalanche crisis that cut off the highway link between Anchorage and Seward, Alaska. Our effort was a great example of what would now be called “strategic communication.”
Late 1978 - 1981
I partnered with two other Alaska Chapter National Press Women on a for-profit company, Winds of Change Productions, for the purpose of writing a book manuscript that went on to be used by the U.S. Congress to tailor the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA, below).
Dudley-Flores’ CV · 11
I partnered with Mr. Dale Horn, program manager of KIAK-AM, Fairbanks in founding Totem Productions, a full-service media company. When Dale left Alaska, I changed the name of the for-profit company to Rowley Media Services.
Rowley Media Services was instrumental to the evolution of OPS-Alaska, the think tank.
I managed a PROD slate of reform candidates for Alaska Pipeline union officerships. (PROD, the Professional Drivers’
Council, is a Ralph Nader organization.)
1980 – present
I have contributed to a plethora of news stories, news features, op-eds, magazine features, radio broadcasts, and documentary films. Themes run the gamut: aerospace issues, issues of cold and polar regions, the Kara Kirghiz, maritime disasters, community interests, union-related violence, law enforcement, health, and the transnationalization of terror.

Technical Writing – Municipal Projects
In the pre-desktop computer era, this was one of my more “normal” project jobs (and enjoyable).
1978 - 1989
· I provided technical writing services to the City of Seward, Alaska.
· I provided technical services to Philleo Engineering, Inc. concerning various public works in and around the City
of Fairbanks.
Legal and Law Enforcement
Reflections:
· Before I received much formal training in field research, I was learning it on-the-job in my criminal justice
roles.
· In those roles, I received insight into those activities that recently got former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens in
trouble for graft and corruption, his “business as usual” catching up with him.
· I saw firsthand how huge construction projects in out-of-the-way places could be used by a large number of
interests to provide resources and to bleed off funding to enact various “black” projects within the United
States and abroad.
· For a number of years, my daily round consisted of having coffee mid-morning with PROD members in the
labor movement, some of whom were freely cooperating with federal agencies to collect data regarding union racketeering. Later, I would attend a class or two at the [nom] of Alaska-Fairbanks. If I had paid project work ongoing on campus, I would attend to that for an hour or two. Then, I might travel to an unmarked office building not far from campus that was being used by state and federal investigators to have a meeting, perhaps to receive instructions on whom to next collect data on (usually through some face-to-face interaction under cover of some innocuous activity, which sometimes was a paying union job). There was little time for homework, housework, and being a wife, but somehow I made do. I got used to multi-tasking before that became a popular term in the lexicon.

1978 – 1983, in the main, and residually continuing through the 1980s
Criminal Justice Contractor/Consultant. Coming to their attention in my job as an investigative news reporter with Mutual
Broadcasting affiliates in Alaska, federal agents and their associates recruited me into this role. These agents and their associates were specific to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Organized Crime Strike Force. Their interest largely had to do with illegal business and financial transactions of businesses and banks connected with the Trans-Alaska Pipeline economy and those unions involved in the construction of the pipeline. Coming in, I had a reputation for my stories getting action, like the rebuilding of the overland link between Anchorage and Seward after a triple avalanche. At first, my work was not much different from my investigations to follow up a news story. I just couldn’t blast my findings all over the airwaves. I had a selective “audience.” And, as touched on above, I provided research and information gathering services for a federal grand jury, convened in Anchorage, in collaboration with agents of the U.S. Department of Justice’s
Organized Crime Strike Force (San Francisco), FBI, Criminal Investigation Division of the I.R.S., and the U.S. Labor
Department. At issue were the activities of several Alaska oil pipeline unions and banks and businesses in Alaska, Washington, and California.
However, my information-gathering services to these federal law enforcement agencies expanded as investigations revealed other activities and my work became better known within criminal justice circles. With federal agencies and later, also with the Alaska Statewide Narcotics Enforcement Unit, my work became counterintelligence and/or counterterrorism in nature when, in the course of my duties, I began to penetrate of-interest groups living and working in Alaska. These included deviant union figures and groups trying to penetrate my circle of colleagues working for the Feds.
Other groups included Balkan nationalists, Irish Republican Army officers and men, a Palestinian Liberation Organization general and his Alaska support network, and Contra-Era Latin Americans linking to a former CIA paramilitary and graduate of the School of the Americas living in Fairbanks, and who was engaged in a human trafficking and drug smuggling ring, and who used pipeline union halls and a Fairbanks restaurant from which to stage his activities. There was a degree of overlap among these groups on various points that made this work interesting. But, it was also dangerous work.
Methods and Equipment:
· I was, in general, familiar with social network analysis (SNA) and similar analytical techniques from my prior
studies, though certainly not at the level as I later attained where I began to make innovations. I could link A with B, ascertain how closely related people were, etc.
· I could content-analyze documents, but not to the degree that I was later able – this included content-analysis of
Spanish-language documents.
· I was often armed with a Colt-45 automatic or a smaller Bernardelli-model pistol for both “in the field” and
home/office protection
· I used traditional detective techniques and equipment, for example:
o I entered the main Alaska Teamsters Union hall in Anchorage “wired” on one occasion o I staked out the Fairbanks International Airport armed with a camera, surreptitiously taking photographs of persons of interest getting off of airplanes from the North Slope o Interviews o I adopted a variety of plausible personae for face-to-face interaction with perpetrators, which weren’t too difficult to manage because I had a finger in a lot of public activities and had worked in many different occupations and on many different projects by this time:
Writer, looking for a story
Waitress in a union establishment
Publicist for a labor leader
Union member of two different unions
Interested affiliate of the Alaska Independence movement
[nom] student, etc.
In 1984, Senators Ted Stevens and Frank Murkowski got passed federal legislation that backdated and made legal a good deal about the earlier business and financial transactions that had been illegal -- that my colleagues and I had investigated.
As our federal agent colleagues left Alaska, moving on to other cases elsewhere in the nation, their associate colleagues, recruited out of Alaskan communities, were left “behind the lines,” so to speak.

I left Alaska finally in mid-1989 to enter a doctoral program in South Carolina, which academically made sense for me to pursue (I had earned two Master’s degrees already), but importantly, that opportunity was a rationale to get me out of Alaska where I no longer enjoyed certain law enforcement agency collegial protections.
Legislative/Political Work – 1980 to Present
Reflections:
· Among my proudest moments from this work was my then-Member of Congress Representative Don Young
reading out of Pat Ivey’s, Helen Bailey’s and my “Energy Lands” book manuscript on the floor of Congress over C-SPAN.
· Had I not gotten involved in criminal justice work and associated with union reformers, had I only engaged in
the tamer media, public relations, and policymaking projects in Alaska that gave me public exposure, I would have likely wound up in some sort of state government managerial position. That was the way things were trending in the earlier 1980s.
· Among the things I missed leaving Alaska for my doctoral program in South Carolina were the social networks
and the high-level social functions to which I was generally invited in Alaska owing to my political connections and public personae there – like the gubernatorial balls and fundraisers of all sorts. I was a persona non grata in Columbia, South Carolina for the first or so year I was in my PhD program. I felt lost without my networks.
What is more, the Deep South of the United States is still a place where “who you know” is as important as what you can do. My immediate family did not live in the area, was not well-connected, and had never been part of South Carolina public life. The only member of my family, a paternal first cousin, who did reach some level of political prominence as a promising attorney got himself in trouble by associating with someone involved in a financial scandal shortly before I arrived back in South Carolina for my doctoral program. I was without introduction as a politically mature adult in South Carolina society. The few times I had invited other family members to participate with me in public venues in the states of Washington, California, and later in South Carolina they were very uncomfortable. However, when I came on faculty at The [nom] of South
Carolina and on other tertiary campuses in South Carolina I began to weave some political and public connections from “second degree” affiliations in South Carolina. For example, I was able to approach a former president of my alma mater, Winthrop [nom], as an occasional sounding board. This was Philip
Lader who had left Winthrop for an Australian [nom] post, then was reborn as the host of the Renaissance
Weekends at his home on Hilton Head Island. The Renaissance Weekends are where Democratic Party leaders make policy annually, similar to how Republican Party leaders make policy at the Bohemian Club in little
Monte Rio, California every year. Phil was a chief architect of Bill Clinton’s presidency. He came to serve as Deputy Director of the Office of Management & Budget, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, and Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. and he eventually became the American Ambassador to the Court of Saint James, although he was not a professional Foreign Service Officer. Being able to connect with folks like Lader and receive constructive feedback helped me keep a positive note as I kept body and soul together during my early doctoral years. Also worth mentioning was my former South Carolina Member of Congress. I had known his sister-in-law in Fairbanks, Alaska. We were one of about three South Carolina southern belles on the scene there (my co-author Patricia Ivey had formerly also been a South Carolinian).
Being able to mention this connection was helpful in my getting one of my best faculty positions ever in the late
1990s. The academic dean of Erskine College was a member of the Congressman’s family. As a sociologist, I know that one of the aspects of social structure is that the network connections that a person can have is as important as those he or she does have. My experiences at the more “political” interface demonstrated that aspect.
Member, Initiating Group. Alaska Statehood Commission. I was nominated by Alaska legislators Don Bennett
(Fairbanks) and Terry Gardiner (Ketchikan) as a Commissioner on this Commission that had been empowered by the voters of Alaska to examine Alaska’s continued role as a relatively new state of the United States.
My book, Alaska – Energy Lands: The Inside Story, co-authored with National Press Women Patricia M. Ivey and Helen
Bailey, helped tailor Public Law 96-487 (Dec 2, 1980, 94 STAT 2371), the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA). Among other things, it involved changes to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and served as a precedent for federal public lands and environmental legislation in other states, including California.

Alaska State Legislature-Appointed Presenter (appointed by Senator Clem Tillion [Halibut Cove]), The Brookings
Institution-sponsored “Future Frontiers of Alaska Conference,” Epsilon Committee, Anchorage, Alaska. In committee, drafted and tailored state legislation about public lands, fisheries and wildlife, and public works for action by the Alaska
State Legislature; and presented a paper.
I was selected for the management position in the Alaska State European Trade Office, Copenhagen, Denmark by Democratic Governor-Elect Bill Sheffield, mid-1980s. (My position evaporated when the Alaska State Legislature de-funded the trade office before the Governor-elect took office.)
I gave expert and televised testimony before the South Carolina State Legislature, at their request, concerning the undesirable experiences of citizens regarding “no-fault” automobile insurance in Alaska. (No-fault automobile insurance failed to gain a toehold in South Carolina.)
I presented my credentials, upon his request, to South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell for the Executive Policy and Programs expert talent bank, 1993.
Cultivation of The American Plan (the Graduated Random Presidential Primary System). See [lien] for a full description of the non-fiction book on this topic written by Thomas Gangale in which I am a featured true-to-life character. The book is also profiled over [lien] I am in the book because I was instrumental in putting the American Plan in the national eye alongside Gangale. I was the manager of this project under the OPS-Alaska imprimatur.
Implementing the American Plan requires an agreement between the Democratic and Republican Parties. Tom and I were involved in trying to make the liaison between the two parties. Along with two of the American Plan’s major supporters, we presented the Plan to the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2006. We hoped to have the American Plan in place by election cycle 2012. The Plan would change the way Americans nominate their presidential candidates, getting rid of all the downsides that the United States has experienced in this regard for a number of decades.
Elected representative from Sonoma County to the California Democratic Party, 2006-2008.
Elected Member and Officer, Sonoma County Democratic Central Committee, California, 6 Jun 2006; re-elected, 3 Jun
2008 through 2010. (Via an illegal vote of this committee of only a few persons, I was removed from my publicly elected seat in February 2009, to which over 4,000 persons from Sonoma County elected me, on the basis that I had “too many” absences while still serving under a DoD Letter of Authorization for my Army work in Afghanistan. By April 2009, on appeal, the California State Democratic Party did not force my reinstatement even though it could have and despite the protestations of the Veterans’ Caucus and others. I have not been an active Democrat since. Like my current Member of Congress said, “That would be like someone arbitrarily removing me from my elected seat.” That was exactly what it was like.)

2008-2009
· Social Scientist, Human Terrain System, US Army. Deployed in Kuwait and Afghanistan. In this role, I performed
research as a senior Human Terrain Analytical social scientist stationed at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan and collected primary data in “full battle rattle outside the wire” embedded with Army troops in Ghazni Province.
Managerial/Administrative/Project Management
Reflections:
From my mid- to late 20s onward, I began orchestrating large numbers of people on projects, in person and at a distance. The Alaska Teamsters campaign for a reform slate of officers had an inner and outer core of cadre of over
100 persons altogether who had to be overseen and marshaled and about 3,000 Alaska Teamsters expected to be loyal to the PROD candidates who had to be organized. The Kara Kirghiz management issue was interesting, too, because I was able to get people in far-flung places in Europe, Pakistan, and Indonesia to do legwork for Louis Dupree and me.
And, what’s more, the U.S. State Department depended on me to convey to them the precise day-to-day activities throughout the world relating to the Kara Kirghiz project so that they could make appropriate decisions on their end.
1978 - 1982
Totem Productions. I managed a variety of media production projects with contract staff working under me.
Some Projects. I produced and hosted several episodes of my former KIAK colleague’s, Yupik Eskimo Sharon
McConnell’s, syndicated Alaska Native News. In the production of that show, I worked with a variety of Alaska Natives in order to broadcast segments in their languages.
Rowley Media Services. A for-profit, and its non-profit twin, the Institute of Alaskan Affairs, were direct forerunners of OPS-Alaska, the network collaborative and think tank (below). Projects fell into three categories:
- commercial media, public relations, and public opinion projects, 2) law enforcement projects, and 3) scientific, public diplomatic, and education projects.
Some Projects. (Commercial). Managing the reform (PROD) slate of candidates’ campaign for leadership of the Alaska
Teamsters Local 959. PROD was the Professional Drivers’ Council, Ralph Nader’s labor reform group.
(Law Enforcement). Counterintelligence/counterterror activities for the Alaska Statewide Narcotics Enforcement Unit and related agencies.
(Scientific, public diplomatic, and education) The rescue and relocation of the Kara Kirghiz (mentioned above).
1985 - 1986
Archaeological Field School, [nom] of Alaska-Fairbanks. Around 1985 and 1986, I helped manage the [nom]
of Alaska-Fairbanks Archaeological Field School.
Some Projects. The Chugwater Early Man Excavation. I supervised undergraduate and graduate students and non-academic personnel in remote and classroom locations in Alaska, about 15-20 persons at any instance.
1990 – present
OPS-Alaska. The way OPS-Alaska has evolved, a think tank that is a network collaborative in structure, associates work as independent contractors on projects assisted by the resources of institutions to which they may also belong. The
[nom] of South Carolina and a State of South Carolina health agency where I have worked have willingly assisted me with OPS-Alaska projects.

The [nom] of South Carolina – 1990 -1992
Mentioned above and in the Appendix that follows, at The [nom] of South Carolina, under the flag of OPS-Alaska, we made the connections and designed the methodology for the Kuwait Victimization Assessment Data Base (KVAD) project. The initial conceptualization wasn’t actually mine – to motivate sociological know-how for Kuwait -- but an idea of one of The USC’s Sociology Department graduate cohort, my friend, Wylie Wright. With his cooperation, I took the idea and worked with it. Once again, this involved the organization and management of persons from a number of different institutions and firms at a distance. I managed about 40 persons around the world who signed onto the project, with the core cadre being from among personnel of South Carolina colleges and universities, some of whom were military veterans of the United States Army and United State Air Force. And, also playing advisory roles were Dr. Louis Rey, an important de facto French scientist-public diplomat from the corporate sector, whom I had known at the [nom] of Alaska-Fairbanks, and Benjamin Ferencz, a former Nuremberg Trial prosecutor, and a noteworthy proponent of an international criminal tribunal concerning Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. When the tribunal for Kuwait was not convened, I turned our methodology over to the United Nations research division where Louis Rey had a collegial relationship with Dr. Andronico Adede. As a result, the KVAD methods likely wound up identifying patterns and perpetrators of political violence in the Balkans a short time later through this avenue.
Chrysalis Center. A partner campus to the Medical [nom] of South Carolina (MUSC). Late 1994 – 1996.
I eventually became the intermittently acting manager of this facility of the State of South Carolina’s Alcohol and Other
Drug Abuse Services that was in receipt of National Institutes of Health funding for research data it generated in collaboration with the Department of Psychiatry, Medical [nom] of South Carolina. Chrysalis Center was one of 63 such facilities in the United States that was part of the NIH project. Among my many other duties, I kept the many hundreds of thousands of dollars of federal funding flowing, was in charge of quality assurance and response to auditors, oversaw research data being provided to the MUSC, and I managed over 50 persons, including nursing assistants, nurses, contract physicians, and dentists. I also supervised several Master’s students in their programs. Chrysalis Center was also a service-learning venue.
Some Projects. My supervisors, professional personnel, and the infrastructure of this state agency’s facility enthusiastically assisted with my external projects under the OPS-Alaska flag. The National Science Foundation (NSF) funding that had to do with the functionality of extreme environmental work teams, below, that OPS-Alaska later garnered, owes a debt to these resources. Primarily, I was allowed office space and equipment, medical and psychology colleagues who served as valuable sounding boards, and time for conferencing and making a feasibility study.
Various Aerospace Projects, 1997 – 2004.
Extreme Environmental Group States Research. By the end of 1997, the National Science Foundation was poised to fund some of us connected to OPS-Alaska for our space and polar exploration group states research, which also tied to my dissertation topic. I managed several colleagues, graduate students, and undergraduates on the NSF-funded group states project. External Assisting Institutions: The [nom] of South Carolina, Erskine College
Russian Space Station Simulation/NASA-Related Extreme Environmental Habitat in the Arctic . With NSF grant money beginning to flow, we were able to use other project funds to investigate the Russian space station simulation at the Institute for Biomedical Problems in Moscow, Russia. I significantly contributed to this project over a number of roles
(late 1997-1999), as did my role (with Thomas Gangale) in being just a handful of those project manager-designers
