Teaching provides an opportunity for personal and social metamorphosis, that is accomplished through a changed relationship to different points in the network that we call culture. The success of this effort depends upon creating a space of dialogue, exchange, and trust so that we can all better learn how to direct our own learning. The hope is that this work will offer the possibility of ethics, engender new forms of making, and generate that sure marker of learning, a surprised pleasure.

My research, like my teaching, works to open up a deepened network of meanings through making cross-disciplinary and cross-genre connections. As I attempt to respond to some of the pressing questions facing us all, my current work focuses on the humanities and questions concerning technology, aesthetics, and the nature of the 21st century university. I am interested, among a host of other things, in cafés, ghosts, cyborgs, and the enigma of reading.
