About Gordon A. Bailey

I was born in Montréal in 1946, raised in Minnesota and Saskatchewan and now live on Pender Island, BC. I taught Sociology at Capilano University in North Vancouver for eighteen years - commuting by ferry, transit and bicycle. My writing includes three books in sociology - on theory, on ideology, and an introductory text (still under construction). I intend to shift my writing focus to essays, articles and various forms of fiction.
