Teaching Statement: I teach a dialogue-based class, with contemporary readings and mixed media. I encourage students to take risks in their thinking and writing, while respecting the discipline of the crafts of writing and thought. I try to expose students to exciting examples of the written word, and of creative media production. By studying contemporary phenomenas, we can help formulate theories with important historical implications.
