R. BOYD MOORMAN
Professor Moorman has a BA and an MA (magna cum laude) in Anthropology awarded by the University of the Americas in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. He has taught at the University of the Americas under the auspices of the prestigious Graduate Fellowship in Anthropology awarded by the University of the Americas Graduate Department of Anthropology. Professor Moorman has also taught courses in anthropology while a lecturer at Barry University, Miami, Florida. Since 1975, Professor Moorman has been on staff at Miami-Dade College-North Campus. Currently with the Social Science Department, Professor Moorman has been honored twice as a recipient of the Miami-Dade College Endowed Teaching Chair Award. He has published several college textbooks and study guides and he has been honored on three separate occasions by the University of Texas at Austin for his many contributions to higher education. His broad background in anthropology and international studies qualifies him to teach a wide range of courses including Cultural Anthropology, Physical Anthropology, Archaeology, Mesoamerican Prehistory, Social Science and numerous other social issues related courses such as the Miami-Dade County court mandated course, Children of Divorcing Parents.
When he is not teaching anthropology, Professor Moorman enjoys many other activities outside of education. He enjoys motorcycles, painting, sculpting, fishing, gardening, and especially flying. He is a private pilot, an aircraft builder, and an EAA UFIE (Experimental Aircraft Association Ultralight Flight Instructor Examiner). Additionally, he is also a martial artist and a sensei with black belts in both Kendo and Iaido. Sensei Bob teaches these Japanese fighting arts in his own dojo in Hialeah, Florida called the KOKURYU-KI (Spirit of the Black Dragon) dojo. Although Professor Moorman has received many medals and awards throughout his academic, aviation, and martial arts careers, he feels his life’s greatest honor came recently when he was “adopted” by the Cherokee and inducted into a Tslagi based warrior society known as the BEAR SOCIETY OF TENNESSEE. He is now a brother in the Indian Way and proud of it!
