I have expertise in adult-centered, non-traditional modes of education, mentoring, prior learning assessment, 21st Century learning design, large scale curriculum development, emerging learning environments, media and technology, and change management. I combine expertise in performing and digital arts and technologies with research in learning design, emerging media and technologies, and immersive environments. I translate French poetry and philosophy, including the work of Philippe Beck. My theoretical research interests include the dynamics of power within the context of taboo and transgression (with a study of ancient Polynesian concepts applied to emergent media lifeworlds).
