Robert D. Wagner, Jr., Ph.D. Bob Wagner earned his Ph.D. in Mythological Studies from Pacifica in 2008 after 40 years as a New York investment banker. His business focus in banking has been on the oil and gas businesses of Texas and during his career in finance he was active across all elements of the banking and corporate finance businesses as a senior officer in four separate financial institutions. He remains active in finance and is on the Board of a number of public and private commercial enterprises and philanthropic organizations. He also has an MBA in Finance from New York University and a BA in History from Holy Cross. Prior to beginning his career in finance in 1966, he was an infantry platoon leader in the USMC with service in the Republic of Vietnam. Bob’s dissertation at Pacifica is entitled Moby-Dick and the Mythology of Oil. He uses Melville’s classic epic as a mythological representation of the economic society that is the Judeo-Christian world, a world that is fully embedded with petroleum as the defining commodity. The focus of his studies at Pacifica was on the massive mythological images that are present in virtually all elements of our modern society. His interest in working with OPUS is on developing the resources and organization to allow the treasures of the Archives to be mined by the widest possible scholarly communities of the world so that the wisdom of myth and mythic systems can be understood by future societies.
