drum machine:: On Quality of Thought
http://drum-machine.blogspot.com/2007/11/moment-of-professionalization.html
On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Monday, November 12, 2007. On Quality of Thought. This weekend I presented at MMLA in Cleveland. The panel was great: four Rhet/Compers trying to press on some of the (new? I’m trying to develop a certain quality of mind! What the hell does that mean? To me it sounds like a sketchy way to deny tenure to people you don't like or whose research you don't like. November 13, 2007 at 10:52 AM. Glad you had a good experience presenting. Are you presenting at MLA?

On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Thursday, September 25, 2008. What's So Critical About Music? A very wise writing professor once told me, "Its easy. Just write the stuff you'd want to read." Right, eas. Y Similarly, as a teacher, I find myself often trying to shape courses that I'd want to take. A lot more difficult than one would imagine. And yet Byron Hawk makes it look easy. This course. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The Practice of Everyday Theory.

On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Saturday, June 23, 2007. Things I've learned in the last two weeks. 1) Doctors and nurses who work in Neonatal Intensive Care Units are the most patient people scurrying about this mortal coil. 2) Grandmas won't let Daddies hold their babies. Daddies must pry them from Grandma's kung-fu grip. 3) Establishing a schedule to see your kid in the hospital is simultaneously comforting and infuriating. 4) When doctors say call anytime, they mean it.

On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Tuesday, March 27, 2007. The Sound of New York. There were, of course, several cool things about Cs—meeting old friends and making new ones, seeing some cool panels, actually feeling surprised that people came to ours—but the following was actually the coolest…. But that’s not actually what I was getting at. Well, apparently we build filing cabinets (surrounded by a block of park) to stack 170,000 apartments (per building! Tuesday, March 13, 2007. That's the g...

On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm an Assistant Professor of English and Director of Composition at Manhattan College in NYC. My research interests are at the intersection of writing, music, and rhetoric and the ways in which those acts inform how we imagine Composition. I'm also the editor of a literary magazine, The Avery Anthology, which publishes fiction by emerging and established writers twice a year. View my complete profile.

drum machine:: Pop Goes Philosophy
http://drum-machine.blogspot.com/2008/03/pop-goes-philosophy.html
On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Thursday, March 13, 2008. So Open Court Press has a "Philosophy and Pop Culture Series" that takes various parts of pop culture (hip-hop, The Simpsons, The Matrix, etc.) and recruits writers to write in an accessible way about how that part of pop culture speaks to philosophical issues. They have an upcoming Radiohead and Philosophy. Volume coming up and I'm very proud to say that I'll be included in it! Finally, years of listening to Radiohead pays off. ;).

On Rhetoric, Composing, Music, and Teaching. Thursday, April 26, 2007. To what degree are Composition and Rhetoric scholars expected to draw from theorists and philosophers in order to better theorize writing? Does Davis actually call on a "thorough recasting of writing" in *Breaking [Up] at Totality*? There's a great scene in the documentary *Zizek! But that question gets boring fast. I think Sanchez is simply asking the wrong question (his point, though, is a good one). So what if we draw on co...We sh...

Why Not Blog?: The decade in music
http://porquoipas.blogspot.com/2009/12/decade-in-music.html
I lurked, shamelessly, on other people's blogs. Now I blog myself. Monday, December 21, 2009. The decade in music. No, I haven't posted in many months. And lately this blog has become a big spam magnet. Still, I have a certain affection for it. And now that grades are in, I'm ready for a nice reflective bit of writing. And so taking a cue from my friend and yours, Mr. Comoprozac. The one who keeps blogging, I am setting out to offer a list of my favorite music of the past decade. Has called the prettiest...
