Afterwards, he joined the Stanford psychology faculty, where he remained for six years. His early research publications were focused on social learning, including language learning, self-efficacy, and learned helplessness through modeling. Later, his interests expanded beyond academic psychology, as his attention turned toward spiritual and artistic pursuits. This aspect of his work is best reflected in his recorded poetry recitals, entitled "Fields of Serenity: Rastafari Poetic Meditations and Visions." Most of the poems on the "Fields" CD were written while he lived in Jamaica among the Rastafari bretheren and sistren of the Nyabinghi Order. Dr. Brown (A.K.A Jah Irvin) returned to teaching and integrating his varied interests at the College of Central Florida in 1990. The courses he has taught include: General Psychology, Human Growth and Development (Throughout the Life Cycle), Introduction to Marriage and Family Therapy, Counseling the Culturally Diverse, and The Psychology of Religion. During his tenure at CF, Dr. Brown also became a licensed psychotherapist, a role in which his varied interests find relevance and expression. He now resides in Gainesville Florida, where he welcomes his new found status as Professor Emeritus. His hope is that retirement will afford the opportunity to focus on his writings, including scholarly work on the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality.ver menos
