Kaz Dziamka

Kaz Dziamka is a college professor, editor of both The American Rationalist (since 1996) and the English section of Racjonalista (since May 2003), and writer from New Mexico. Kaz holds an MA in English philology from the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, and a Ph.D. in American studies from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
In 1996, Dziamka wrote a proposal to teach "The American Humanist Tradition," a history of American secular humanism. The course became very popular with local college and university students, but also caused an outburst of protests from the conservative Christians in Albuquerque. The story received a front-page coverage in the Albuquerque Journal and became a feature article in Alibi, an independent weekly in New Mexico. Dziamka has since been offered to teach the class again during the Spring semester at CNM for academic honor students.
Dziamka received the Humanist Pioneer Award for 1999 from the American Humanist Association.
