Personal Statement
Robert Gould, a lifelong Portland resident, has worked in the areas of
peace, social justice, conflict resolution, and community service for
over forty years. He counseled and taught young people about military
service and peaceful alternatives in the 1960's and 1970's, and helped

and 1980's.
Dr. Gould is currently in the process of writing a book entitled,
Engaged Thinking, that takes up key issues in the philosophy of
conflict resolution.
When Rob is not working, he enjoys triathlons, mountain climbing,
bicycling, snow and water sports. "Naps are fun, too!"
