Richard R. Cornwall


Born on the western shore of Puritanical America (also known as "New England" near Lake Champlain in Middlebury, Vermont, 1940) and educated in bourgeois respectability and modernism, as well as economics and mathematics, at Princeton University (A.B. 1962), Oxford University and the University of California at Berkeley (Ph.D. 1968), I study the use of economic theory to understand human interaction. Starting with publications in mathematical economics (e.g., Introduction to the Use of General Equilibrium Theory), I have endeavored to model "transactions" between humans which promote or diminish socioeconomic inequality related to sexual orientation, gender and race. I most recently taught microeconomics at the University of California, Davis (http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/rrcornwall/), but am now mostly "retired" so I can concentrate on writing, etc. My practicums on acting/thinking queerly are described on other sites.
