As of May 2013, I've retired from teaching to write, play music and generally be healthier and happier. The writing goes on in several places. Here's a summary:
I previously taught at Emerson College in Boston and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, after getting two master's degrees at Wesleyan University and a doctorate at UNC Chapel Hill. At Radford, I became an assistant professor in fall 2007 as the university began a new RU School of Communication . I enjoyed it, mostly, but couldn't juggle the teaching load and my research the way younger faculty do.
