Rochelle Johnson

After growing up in the forests and meadows of New England, I now enjoy the stunning landscapes of the sage-brush steppe ecosystems of southwestern Idaho. Before moving to teach at the College of Idaho, I studied at Bates College (B.A., English, 1990) and worked for two years in the health insurance industry in Cambridge, Massachusetts, learning—in addition to the “9 to 5” commuter lifestyle—that an English major‘s skills in analytical thinking, precise expression, and conceptual organization are deeply valued in the business world. I then went west to Claremont Graduate University (M.A., Ph.D., 1999), where I studied American literature and benefited from taking courses in environmental history while backpacking all over the West. In the 1990’s, the “environmental humanities” was just emerging as a field, though not known by that name. I was fortunate to get involved just as this interdisciplinary mode of study was taking off and just as ASLE, the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment, was forming. I attended the first conferences focused on literature and environment and later served as President of both ASLE. Thanks to great mentors and encouraging professors, I was able to center my dissertation work on a historicized reading of the cultural work performed by nineteenth-century natural history. While my interests have changed over the years, once centering on theories of power and ecocriticism and later on material culture and theories of perception, my fascinations with language, meaning, and materiality sustain me. An author or editor of books, scholarly articles, reviews, and creative essays, my work has been supported or recognized by the Carnegie Foundation, the Idaho Humanities Council, the American Antiquarian Society, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among other organizations. I value professional service, community, and finding ways for my academic scholarship to have public relevance in our politically and environmentally fraught age. On a more personal note, I enjoy exploring the vitality of matter through yoga, gardening, and running.

Kerry Hunter

“Dr. Hunter bends minds like bodybuilders bend aluminum coke cans—that is to say, quite easily. Actually, this is a weak analogy because when bodybuilders bend coke cans the cans are useless post-bending. When Hunter bends minds, they become more useful. Maybe he’s more like a ripped blacksmith bending steel?” —Anonymous Student I’m no blacksmith. Nor am I trying to bend minds. Socrates is my mentor—even though I am not old enough to have actually met him in person, as some of my current students would have you believe. Like Socrates, I see teaching as a form of midwifery. Through much labor, I help students give birth to new ideas and new discoveries. I could “teach” no other way. For over thirty years, no two classes have been the same. Each term there are different students giving birth to new discoveries and new ideas. Thankfully, unlike for Socrates, who got himself killed for “corrupting the youth” in ancient Athens, The College of Idaho has proven a supportive place for me to practice my calling. With luck, I will last another thirty years. EDUCATION Ph.D., University of Washington M.A., University of Washington B.A., Utah State University PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Washington and began teaching at The College of Idaho in 1988. I have been here ever since. In 2008, I was named Idaho Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement in Teaching. I teach courses in political philosophy and constitutional law and hold a biannual Mock Supreme Court course in which nine students are selected to play the role of a current justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. For this course, the students study cases currently before the Court, hear oral arguments by practicing attorneys in the area, and write opinions as if they were sitting on the Court. Students find this course particularly challenging and rewarding. Past participants include Rhodes, Marshall, and Truman Scholars. During my sabbatical in 2009, I visited New Zealand where I engaged with journalists, members of the public in urban and rural settings, law professors, representatives of diverse political movements, multiple government officials—including two former prime ministers, one of which is the author of New Zealand’s bill of rights, and one future prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. This visit was part of my effort to experience a political culture radically different from that of the U.S. in that New Zealand refuses to grant courts power to overturn acts of the legislature. Upon returning to the U.S., I have published several articles in leading New Zealand law journals debating the issue of whether New Zealand should adopt an American-style constitution.

Rob Dayley

In my preparation for my career as a professor, a graduate mentor once told me that our job is, in essence, “reading books and talking about them with young people.” It was a wonderfully simple way to describe and accept what we do. Today, I tell people all the time that I can’t believe I get paid to do what I love. The College of Idaho is an amazing place to engage intellectually with students and colleagues. I enjoy a remarkably fulfilling career with positive and life-affirming relationships with C of I students and colleagues. Each semester I feel privileged to work with new and continuing students. Discovering together is my goal with each group of students. Developing our Department’s Political Economy programs has been tremendously rewarding. These include our IPE major, Asian Studies courses, off-campus courses abroad, Model UN program, the Davis Project for Peace, and other initiatives. I especially love new opportunities to research and explore Asia, whether for my own fieldwork or with students and colleagues. When I began my career, I never imagined I would discover such a wonderful combination of teaching, research, scholarship, experiences abroad, and program development. My wife, Carrie, a first-grade teacher, also reads books with young people for a career, as she teaches them how to read. Together we have pursued teaching careers while raising our three children in Caldwell, only blocks from campus. Multiple opportunities have allowed career and family life to intersect with long-term residence in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and various other opportunities. The College of Idaho’s location in the Intermountain West is another fortunate aspect of this position. As a product of the Rocky Mountains from my youth, I regularly seek out hiking, camping, downhill skiing, and backpacking, especially through the spectacularly unspoiled Sawtooth Range. EDUCATION Ph.D. in Political Science – Southeast Asia, Northern Illinois University M.A. in Asian Studies, University of Oregon B.A. in Political Science, Weber State University PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Dr. Robert Dayley is a professor of International Political Economy at The College of Idaho, where he began in the fall of 2000. Before arriving in Idaho, he taught at Davidson College, St. Lawrence University, and Oglethorpe University. He has spent over five years in Asia including two Fulbright research grants to Thailand as well as teaching stints at Payap University (Chiang Mai) and China Agricultural University (Beijing). He is fluent in Thai and conversant in Lao. Author of a widely used text in Asian Studies courses, Southeast Asia in the New International Era, eighth edition (Routledge 2020), Dayley’s fieldwork and published research focuses on the comparative political economy of Southeast Asia and agrarian change in Thailand. Dayley has led College of Idaho students on eleven off-campus courses and research trips to Southeast Asia and China. He has served as Davis Advisor and on the Davis Projects for Peace Campus Committee. He advises The College of Idaho’s Model UN program where his delegations have won multiple Outstanding Delegation and Distinguished Delegation awards at National Model United Nations-New York. Professor Dayley was one of the chief architects of The College of Idaho’s distinctive curriculum. From 2013-2016, he served on the national board of ASIANetwork, a consortium of 170 liberal arts colleges in the United States. There he created the ASIANetwork Speakers Bureau grant program of which he now administers as program director. He also serves on the Idaho Advisory Committee of the US Global Leadership Council. In 2011, the Carnegie Foundation and Council for Advancement and Support of Education named him Idaho Professor of the Year.

Luke Daniels

Luke Daniels has been at The College of Idaho since 2009, regularly teaching Introductory Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Neuroscience and Bioinformatics and a study abroad course in Ecuador. The goal of Professor Daniels’ current research is to understand cellular signaling in brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme. Professor Daniels regularly works with students in collaborative research projects, and has received funding to support this work from the National Institutes of Health, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and the Mountain State Tumor Institute. Students in the Daniels lab use a number of techniques in their research, including cell culture, molecular biology, fluorescence microscopy, live cell calcium imaging, and computer analyses of biological data (bioinformatics). Professor Daniels believes that hands-on experiences are an important aspect of science education. He has led projects that have competitively awarded College of Idaho membership into two national teaching consortiums, the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute Science Education Alliance and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory RNA-Seq for the Next Generation project. These projects allow students to participate in authentic research experiences in the classroom, and have resulted in students identifying new microorganisms and receiving co-authorship credit in peer-reviewed scientific articles. Professor Daniels enjoys the close-knit, collaborative atmosphere among faculty and students at the College of Idaho. He lives with his wife and two young sons, and in his free time enjoys mountain biking and skiing. Professor Daniels completed a B.S. in Biology at Seattle Pacific University (2001) and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Southern California (2009). An assortment of other experiences have contributed to his personal and professional development, including selection as a Fulbright Senior Scholar and moving with his family to Indonesia during 2016-2017, working in the biotechnology industry, travelling in Central and South America, and summer jobs in construction while in high school and college.
