Teaching

Teaching provides an opportunity for metamorphosis, an effort that depends upon creating a space of dialogue, translation, precision, fuzziness, and innovative practices. The hope is that our learning together will offer the possibility of ethics, new forms of making, and the surprising pleasure of discovery.

Research/Scholarship

Through cross-disciplinary and cross-genre connections, my work focuses on questions of aesthetics, spectrality, technology, and the 21st century university. I am interested in, among a host of other things, cafés, telephones, ghosts, cities, hotel keys, the post-human, painting, noir, and the enigma of reading.
