Dr. Kleinpeter writes and lectures on the social psychology of modern US society with forthright, entertaining accounts about a nation beset with social ills created by its own devices. The basis of the analysis are his spiritual and scientific views explaining and giving purposeful meaning to enduring types of social psychological suffering. His narratives are a mix of observable realities interpreted by the social sciences with psychological perspectives from religious mythologies. As a social philosopher, the spirit of an ethicist and provocateur can be felt throughout his writings concerning the paradoxes of implementing humane, rational policies improving the human condition. He is from Key Biscayne, Florida and was educated in private secular and religious schools. He holds a B.A. in Government (1979), and a M.S. in Social Science, major in Public Administration from the College of Social Sciences, Florida State University (1997); and a Ph.D. in Foundations of Education, Social Sciences (2002), with a post doctorate Graduate Certificate in Educational Policy, from the College of Education, Florida State University (2003). Employed as a senior researcher by the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, he served as a liaison to the Florida Governor's Office on policy for youth and tobacco use. With an administration change, he resigned and focused his attentions on the global issue of street and working children acting as an ombudsman on their behalf. He resided and worked in a Mexican street shelter and community health clinic where he wrote his doctorate dissertation on what is considered the first critical sociological-ethnographic case study on the difficult lives of feral children. Dr. Kleinpeter taught sociology and research methods for the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Criminal Justice at Florida A & M University, and the social sciences and education for the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Florida State University. Being a contender in the arena of contentious truth, he is known for his unorthodox theories and teaching methods. In collaboration with anonymous donors, they created the Mantis Institute, an educational society that funds, documents and publishes social science research on failed technical rationalities of state and their impact on civil society. His published works have drawn international recognition and reside in the Bodleian Social Science Library, at the University of Oxford; the Cambridge University Library, England; and the Buddhist Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai Library, Tokyo, Japan. |
