I have had an endowed Chair at both Vanderbilt and Notre Dame. Then I went to Berkeley California - Princeton, Vanderbilt, and now the University of Notre Dame. I discovered that I loved the research as much as the teaching and drifted into the academic life initially in Canada and then at the University of Wales in Swansea which is where I was when I wrote the Aristotle Detective. I thought that my doctoral thesis was really a license to go and teach. I became an academic after I had some experience of teaching. My MA is honorary and I studied for my Doctorate at Oxford as well. We moved to the States for a while and I was educated in Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and then proceeded to take a second BA degree at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. English of Irish descent and I was born by the sea in a lobster fishing village in the province of New Brunswick.
