Writing | Teaching | Coaching | Bio | Contact Statement: My work engages rhetorical, psychological, and behavioral strategies. These strategies operate within particular cultural niches. Generally these cultural niches for me include: -interpersonal & analytical discourses -particular communities, organizations, & societies -arts & media, and -particular personal microcosms. Specifically I am interested in how we human beings "compose our world(s)" in relation to: • conceptions of information organization, reproduction, & growth • mortality & human life • affect/emotion & creativity, and • assessing present situations & envisioning/enacting the future. My central efforts seek to understand, negotiate, and facilitate what I see as individual and collective struggles for survival, well-being, and inspiration in a complex, uncertain world. I do this through observing, experiencing, listening, talking, watching, reading, writing, consulting, and coaching. Action may lead to ideas. Ideas may lead to action. In the middle of all this, we feel the moment -- and anticipate the future. Current projects: "Memetica Ecologica: Rhetorics of Information and the Dream of Reverse Engineering Nature and Culture" (in-progress) "Memento Vivere: Life, Now" (in-progress) "Climas Afectivos, or Affect Storms: Awareness, Understanding, and Responses toward Changing Emotional Systems" (initiated) "Future(s) Now" (initiated) Writing | Teaching | Coaching | Bio | Contact |
