***

I joined the English Department at Capilano University full-time in 2004 and have been affiliated with the Creative Writing, Culture and Technology (RIP), and Liberal Studies BA programs. I've published two books of poetry, a collection of prose vignettes, a collaborative research project, along with numerous articles and essays. From 2010 - 2013 I edited CUE books, and am currently an Advising Editor to the Capilano Review. As a researcher my project revolves around the relationship between literature, aesthetics, radical social movements, and everyday life.

I have a somewhat unorthodox education history, and I like to think my teaching methods embody that. For more on my ideas about learning and teaching, see this article in the venerable Capilano Courier. You could also check out this book, which is one of my favourites on education.
