Welcome to Ken Kaminsky’s home page!

I have a B. A. in Mathematics and an M. S. and Ph. D. in Applied and Mathematical Statistics from Rutgers University. I have been a faculty member at Rutgers University, Bucknell University, Syracuse University, SUNY Oswego, University of Umeå (Sweden), St. Olaf College, and, finally, at Augsburg (1987-present). My wife, Amy, is a Professor of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus. We have two children. Jonathan is 29, a 2000 graduate of Macalester College, and a 2006 graduate in Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley. David, a 1996 graduate of Macalester College, is 32 with a Ph.D. in 2005 in Ethnomusicology from Harvard University.
