Descrição
In Crippled at the Starting Gate, Robert Leslie Fisher argues that the United States needs an education bill, much like the G.I. Bill passed after World War II, to send more Americans to graduate school in the sciences and engineering. Equally important, the graduate schools need to change their culture not only to recruit more women, African-Americans, and Latinos into science, but to promote them to senior faculty positions. Accomplishing these changes in university science and engineering departments will be challenging since the institutions have a strong propensity to recruit white males similar to the overwhelmingly white male senior faculty. In Making Science Fair (2007), Fisher urged new productivity metrics to assure that more women can advance in science. Now Fisher urges ending burdensome educational practices including requiring women and foreign graduate students to teach under-graduates, which adversely affects both the graduate students and the undergraduates.

Sobre o autor
Robert Leslie Fisher was educated in New York City and holds a graduate degree in sociology from Columbia University. During his more than thirty year career in government, he has done health behavior research for the U.S. Public Health Service, and VISTA—the domestic Peace Corps; evaluation of drug and alcohol prevention and treatment programs in the New York City public school system, and New York State adult prisons; and helped plan the major expansion of New York State’s correctional facilities during the I 980s. Since retiring from New York State in 2003. he has been an independent scholar and volunteer consultant in strategic planning for nonprofit and government agencies in Albany, New York.
Although this book is his first foray into fiction, Mr. Fisher has written extensively on crime patterns, drug abuse prevention, and drug abuse education. He has also authored three scholarly books on the gender gap in science—Crippled at the Starting Gate (2009); Making Science Fair (2007; and The Research Productivity of Scientists (2005) all published by University Press of America.
In Vanilla Republic, Mr. Fisher draws on his diverse work background and extensive travels throughout Europe, Latin America, and North Africa to fashion a story about Peace Corps Volunteers in a turbulent island nation off the coast of Africa at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Part mystery, part romance, this story conveys the excitement, the disappointment, the small victories and the defeats people experience when they volunteer to work in foreign lands.
