is an educator, entertainer, scholar and administrator
who has written and produced a wide variety of public
education, popular science and business information projects.
While Director
of Education at Science World British Columbia, one
of Canada's premiere science centres, Mr. Hansen led
the development of a national program for elementary
teacher training in science as well as a number of other
television, exhibition and multimedia enterprises, including
a provincewide interactive videoconference with Mikhail
Gorbachev. In 2000, Mr. Hansen entered the high-production
world of business television, where he wrote, edited
and managed for B2BTV, a weekly half-hour business program
on Calgary's Channel 7. Now a freelance technical writer
and educational consultant, Mr. Hansen's current major
project is writing and editing Genome British Columbia's education website.
Combining
his extensive background in liberal arts as well as
popular science, Mr. Hansen’s recent academic
work examines the philosophy of Plotinus (205-270 C.E.)
and its potential application to new models in contemporary
ecology. In his intellectual down time, he is an amateur
furniture builder, cook, wood carver, piano-rebuilder
and music collector. He also has a patio garden that
he watches his wife maintain.
