Since 1996, I have led faculty development at three universities, and given invited presentations at 35 conferences and institutions including Harvard, Columbia and New York University. I'm currently associate director of the Center for Academic Excellence at Fairfield University, assistant professor in curriculum and instruction (in the Graduate School of Education & Allied Professions), and teaching Environmental Justice (in Applied Ethics) in spring 2010. My studies ranged from engineering and studio art to a Ph.D. in cultural studies and education at Teachers College, Columbia University. My scholarship includes 6 peer reviewed articles, 6 chapters in books including The Colbert Report and Philosophy (see this review esp.), and a book I am authoring entitled Teaching for Transformation: Pathways and Pitfalls of Integrative Learning.
