I'm interested in the intersection of education, new media and democracy. See English 138 The Internet as Participatory Culture and English 1, 2 Remixing Little Brother.

If you're at all interested in new media & pedagogy, I recommend a glance at the recent exemplary work of Julianne Parayo, Amanda Taylor, Montana Whitington, Alison Baileys and Alex Moore, among many others.

In Fall 2011, I'm teaching a new course about the dominant cultural form in Western democracies, Melodrama: White Hat, Black Hat, from the French Revolution to Harry Potter

I'm working on a new book about the bipartisan failure of education policy, maintain a youtube channel, and blog at the Chronicle of Higher Education. You can read how I got interested in these questions in Jeff Williams' very kind interview with me, Higher Exploitation.

I also serve on the AAUP national Council, the Executive Committee of MLA's Division on Teaching as a Profession, and on the advisory board of several journals and organizations, including Critical Education, Academe, Edu-Factory, Peace Studies Journal, New Faculty Majority, and Workplace.
