I am an Associate Professor of English at the University of Northern Colorado. My research interests focus on the intersections of rhetoric, ethics, technologies, and (post)pedagogy. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on contemporary rhetoric, ethics, digital production technologies, composition, design and video games. My courses strive to be antiracist, inclusionary, and equitable. Talk to me about “ungrading.”
My web identity stems from a passage from John Locke’s essay “Some Thoughts Concerning Education”:
Be sure not to let your son be bred up in the art and formality of disputing, either practicing it himself, or admiring it in others; unless, instead of an able man, you desire to have him an insignificant wrangler, opiniator in discourse, and priding himself in contradicting others; or which is worse, questioning everything, and thinking there is no such thing as truth to be sought, but only victory in disputing.
In an effort to distance myself from Locke’s notion of enlightenment, I celebrate mere wrangling, and relish my insignificance. Play the world away.
