My Classes:
The Discourse of Writing The Discourse of American Culture
Academic Interests:
My academic interests have converged around the intersection of semiotics, linguistics, culture studies, cognitive science, film studies, and computer science (i.e. structured languages). My linguistic and academic background can be classified as a post-modernist, critical, Marxist, anti- structuralist, strong Sapir-Whorf formulation approach.
The specific lines of academic inquiry that interest me are:
l Use of language/ control of information in insular communities
l Cultural/ semiotic production during “golden ages” (i.e. US 60’s counterculture)
l Memory, framing, and “religious experiences”
l Mind- machine interface
l Storytelling and cognitive processes
l Peace and conflict studies
