Researchers

Bill Broyles recently retired from 31 years of teaching English, physical education, and philosophy to high school students in Tucson, Az., and joined the University of Arizona’s Southwest Center as a research associate. He earned a B.A. in English and Philosophy from the University of Arizona and a M.A. in Philosophy from Claremont Graduate School. The unofficial “keeper of the desert,” Broyles is a member of the board of directors and works full-time as the unpaid coordinator of the Sonoran Desert National Park Project. When he has any free time, he spends it writing, hiking, and learning about deserts.
