My Blog
This blog has two purposes. First, it’s a convenient place for me to record my latest thoughts, research, and teaching materials (as they accumulate over time). Second, I generally avoid being active on standard forms of social media (and I think I’m happier and healthier because of that choice), but I still think it’s good to have an online presence. A blog is a nice way to do that—or, at least it’s a nice way for me to do that.
