I am a student at Syracuse University, pursuing a PhD in Composition and Cultural Rhetoric and an MA in Linguistics. Originally from California, I have a BA in Screenwriting from Chapman University and an MA in English from California State Polytechnic University. Before I moved to the land of snow and hills, I was an avid climber and backpacker.

This blog will attempt to keep its posts as brief as possible. “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Also, my posts are not meant to be definitive statements or manifestos. I am “letting my mind play round the subject,” as Chesterton would have said. So please forgive contradictions or affronts. These aren’t scholarly articles.
