Welcome
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of English Language and Literature at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, CO, where I serve as a Rhetoric and Composition scholar and teacher. My scholarship, which is informed by Foucault’s work on the care of the self, focuses primarily on the practices of self writing in the personal essay. I am most recently working on an article on imitation practices in writing: *how* such practices produce an agonistic relation between writer and model. My work on subjectivity and imitation also informs my teaching (syllabi coming soon).
“The work of an intellectual is not to mold the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play).” –Foucault
