Dan Pemberton
July 26, 2015
When Dan Pemberton began his work with secular student groups, he expected to see a battle for science literacy with clean lines of science advocates vs. religious fundamentalists. He quickly learned that there were far more powerful forces at work that subvert education and devalue science. What’s more, he learned that the reasons for the rejection of science are largely unknown by advocates of scientific literacy.
Dan Pemberton is the Secular Student Alliance (www.secularstudents.org) Southwest Regional Campus Organizer. He was President of the SSA at Sacramento State University, and loves all things technology, grilled cheese, Legos, podcasts, and hammocks.
Dan’s passion is for everyone to become a better critical thinker, no matter their religion.
