Dr. Louis G. Herman

Dr. Louis G. Herman is a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii West Oahu, author of Future Primal: How our Wilderness Origins Show Us the Way Forward and founder and director of The Institute for a New Political Cosmology. His work and worldview are informed by early imprinting with Southern African wilderness; schooling under apartheid in the aftermath of the Holocaust and his discovery of his Jewish indigeneity on Kibbutz in Israel.  His research contributes to an emerging political cosmology with the truth quest at its center. He has spent the last two decades developing a curriculum and pedagogy based on this research.
