what i write:

I write meeting notes, emails, syllabi, workshop and meeting and lesson plans and debriefs, letters, essays, occasional poems, ethnographic accounts, fieldnotes, unpublished and unfinished and overwritten long manuscripts, and academic artifacts. I mostly feel compelled to write what a long-ago mentor called 'thought-pieces': writing as a means of sifting through the layers of situations//information//desires//values//insecurity-muck; writing toward clearer thoughts, toward a calm mind, toward capacity to listen, toward doing and becoming.

why i write:

I write to make sense, to connect, to explore, to process, to remember, to purge, to get through, to make new. I write because writing is a core, everyday element of my political praxis.
