At Vanderbilt University, he’s served as a professor and visiting scholar in three departments: History, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and the Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society.

Given his wealth of areas of expertise, I have lots of questions for him. Perhaps we will get the answer to the question of how to save democracy! And we’ll share some listener mail too.. it’s been a while!
