About me

Industry Education
Occupation Professor
Location Chicago, IL, United States
Introduction Sometimes I get lost in my own thoughts and only dream of getting back somewhere. Perhaps though, it is the dream, the process of dreaming that is vital to survival...revealing those troubling moments, those instances of subversion that make new dreams, different dreams possible. I am not practical. I have no skills outside of the academy. I consider the academy to be a socially sanctioned asylum. I dream. I fantasize. I believe in doing so different possibilities can be found...and perhaps seen on that forever illusive horizon.
