Clifford J. Jansen
After
completing Secondary School in Cape Town, in 1952, I worked as an office clerk for the
next few years, before leaving for Rome in September 1956, where I completed two years of
Philosophy. I then went to the Université Catholique de
Louvain, Belgium, where I received a Licence (MA) in Sociology and a second Licence
(MA) in Economics. I received a Ph.D. Degree in Sociology, from The University of Bath, England in 1968.
Jobs included: Research assistant at
'Centre de Recherches Socio-Religieuses' in Brussels: 1961-1963; A Research Assistantship
in Sicily: 1963-64 (Pontifica Universita' Gregoriana);
A Research Fellowship at University of Bath: 1965-1968; Research Assistantship at the Institute for Behavioural (Social) Science, at York
University, Toronto: 1968 and Professor of Sociology at York
University: 1968-Present. I spent the academic year 1978-1979 at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
ENGLISH is my mother tongue. I speak, read
and write FRENCH fluently and speak and read ITALIAN very well.
