Biography
Greetings! My name is (Professor, Dr.) Ken Woodward. My master’s degree in economics is from the University of Pittsburgh, and I have a Ph.D. from the University of California at Riverside.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching economics and political economy at various colleges and universities across the country. I dedicated thirty years of my career to Saddleback College as a full-time professor. A few years ago, I decided to retire from my full-time position, but my passion for teaching brought me back. I am currently serving as a part-time emeritus instructor, a role that I truly enjoy.
Outside of economics, I have a wide range of interests. I am a passionate traveler, a strong advocate for free speech, and an avid listener of classic rock. I also actively participate in autism research and enjoy hiking to connect with nature and stay healthy.
