Scholarship & Creative Work

Where the work becomes interesting.

I am not a standard humanities scholar — and that is the point. My work crosses research and creative practice: the embodied humanities, writing, music and composition, public dialogue, and the pedagogy of artificial intelligence. The combination is unusual, and deliberately so.

Areas of work

Research & creative practice

Core inquiry

The Embodied Humanities

Scholarship on how learning, language, and meaning are grounded in the body, voice, and community — and what that means for how we teach in a disembodied, digital age.

Conferences

Conference & Presentation Work

Talks, panels, and presentations bringing pedagogy, the humanities, and emerging technology into conversation before academic and public audiences.

Writing

Writing Projects

Essays and longer-form writing spanning criticism, pedagogy, and public scholarship — work that reaches beyond the specialist journal.

Creative

Music & Composition

As the recording artist L8 Blo0om — 11 albums across 30 years of songwriting — my creative practice informs my scholarship on embodiment, form, and the made object. Research and art as one continuous practice.

Civic

Civility Institute Work

Building frameworks and programming for civil dialogue and public discourse — applying humanities methods to the urgent problem of how we talk to one another.

Emerging

AI Pedagogy Experimentation

Practitioner-scholarship on teaching with and about artificial intelligence — documented experiments, frameworks, and reflection. See Teaching With AI.
