In 2001/2002 academic year, I was a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence at Mansfield University (Mansfield, PA, USA). For developing of philosophical anthropology, we held an International Conference "Human Being in Contemporary Philosophical Conceptions" at Volgograd State University (1998, 2000, 2004, 2007). The last forum was held under the patronage of UNESCO. Also, I was a founder and editor-in-chief of the (Russian-English) Journal of Philosophical Anthropology "Reflections" (2010-2012). Personal: married, two daughters, two grandchildren; now I am the US permanent resident.
