From pulp magazine origins to recent cinematic triumphs,
superheroes mirror our culture.

As an interdisciplinary teacher and scholar concerned with real and imagined spaces, I integrate a historical understanding into investigations of contemporary culture.  

My work is framed around a central question: What does it mean to be a scholar in the twentieth-first century? Informed by a community engagement framework that emphasizes the Classroom as Platform, I pursue a public humanity practice that supports student learning and community action.
