-
My research interests lie largely within the realm of utopian studies, but specifically how ideas espoused by thinkers such as Ernst Bloch apply practically for my students, most of whom are first year composition students. Beyond this interest, I am also invested in Grimm Brother fairy and folk tales, Renaissance English literature, Chinese language learning, and community building. In all areas of my life I am seeking to learn how to extend grace in meaningful ways, as I believe grace is foundational to community.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I am a happily married husband and bragging father. We live outside the greater Atlanta area with our two rescue dogs, Darlie and Molly, who complete our little family. I am an active reviewer on Yelp, occasional article author for small publications, and member of the North Point Community.
