Crediting Barack Obama\u2019s\u00a0<em>Dreams from My Father <\/em>as the last nonacademic book he read, he comments, \u201cI study U.S. presidents so I read it partly for work, but it was still a fun book to read.\u00a0Barack Obama actually went by \u2018Barry\u2019 until he went to college\u201d. Currently, the professor is working on a major project: \u201cLetters and shapes with my son. He just turned six.\u00a0I love being a dad and outside of work, that\u2019s what I do with most of my time\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell passion runs through Dr. Edwards\u2019 core no matter if it\u2019s related to his profession or being a family man at home. He takes on many roles and lives to fulfill them all by his dedication. It is only fitting that when asked what song he would choose to represent his life, he selected Green Day\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mwnoNVOj1Fs\">Time of Your Life<\/a>\u201d because it embodies everything he aims to do.<\/p>\n<p>As Dr. Barry Edwards takes another turning point into his life as he makes a home at the University of Central Florida, we welcome him to the Knight family!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earning his Bachelor\u2019s degrees in Economics and Political Science from Stanford, his J.D. from NYU Law School and a Ph.D. from the University of Georgia, Dr. Barry Edwards\u00a0 joined the\u00a0department this past fall.
