“It’s a new dawn; it’s a new day; it’s a new life for me, yeah.

And I’m feeling good!”–Nina Simone

Welcome!

Welcome to my website! Here you will find everything you need to know about my professional life as a scholar and public speaker.  The links at the top of the site provide biographical, research, publishing, and public speaking information. Be sure to read my statement/cautionary tale on my experience with reporter Sally Jacobs/NPR Boston, and do check out my Self Care Page for advice on how to avoid burnout as you pursue your professional goals.

If you wish to book me for a speaking engagement or interview, click Contact Me at the top of the page and leave your message.  I will contact you as promptly as I can (I am so sorry, but I am not available to serve on graduate student committees at this time). Thank you for visiting my site.
