Interests, Activities & Plans
From my studies at U Mich in the seventies, I learned a little bit about main-frame computers, and I am very interested in now continuing the collaboratve research on Medieval topography I began in Cairo, now on the internet, through the use of shared pictures of the current state of the Mamluke monuments in Cairo and environs, and exchange of topographical information in Arabic historical and mathematical texts(ie. Maqrizi and al-Kashi, for example) Visit my research web site at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~dhoppe.
Although I am currently working full time in the Airline industry, I have interest and experience in the art of teaching English--or any language: Arabic
, for example--by the audio visual method, and would especially like to get into a job that would bring me back into teaching English as a second language. The internet provides interesting possibilities for teaching English.
