Over the past four years, I have done extensive research in the area of the Digital Divide and the socio ecomomic impact on minority groups within a North American context. I also work as a senior IT Education Consultant and understand the high level of technological expertise that is required to compete in this technologically savvy world. I have recently begun to expand my research to include developing countries like Dominica. Primarily, I firmly believe that if Dominica is going to develop further we need to attract top talent but that can only be achieved if we can develop our technological infrastructure and decrease the digital divide between dveloped and developing countries.

E-mail Address: Contact Management;
I am an Arthur A. Schomburg Fellow presently pursuing a PhD in American Studies at the University at Buffalo. My intended area of specialization is Caribbean Literature - more specifically studies of whiteness and tourism in Caribbean novels of fiction. I am currently completing an independent study on the history of tourism and contemporary tourism in the Caribbean. I have long had an interest in eco-tourism. For the little research I have done, Dominica seems to be an island that has not been bombarded with tourists in the way that other islands have been and there seems to be a serious and genuine commitment to maintaining the eco-systems there. I am curious about how eco-tourism is developing and how it affects local communities. I am also curious as to the reasons why certain tourists choose to come to Dominica and what their experiences are like.

MY INTEREST IN DOMINICA GOES BACK PERHAPS TO ABOUT 1980 WHEN I FIRST VISTED AND EXPLORED THE ISLAND. SEVERAL TRIPS HAVE FOLLOWED. ACADEMICALLY I HAVE LONG BEEN INTERESTED IN THE CARIBBEAN REGION AS IT HAS RELATED TO THE EVOLUTION OF RACE ISSUES IN USA AND THE PROMINENT ROLE OF SO MANY WEST INDIANS IN THAT CONTEXT. A BUSINESS ASSOCIATION WITH BELLO FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN THE EARLY 90'S BROUGHT CONTACTS ON ANOTHER LEVEL OF ASSOCIATION. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PRIVATE BUSINESS AND CONSULTING FOR THE PAST DECADE OR SO, AN ABIDING INTEREST IS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION.
