Short biography
I am an Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies and Professor of English Education in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at The University of Oklahoma. I recently completed a book entitled PRIVATIZATION OF AMERICA'S PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS: THE STORY OF THE AMERICAN SELLOUT to be published by Peter Lang in May 2019. AMERICAN SELLOUT elucidates a shift in political sentiment over the past few decades--from an embrace of the ideals of American democracy and a belief in the the common good--to a predilection for power and profit. The book examines how the formerly public sectors of the military, corrections (prisons), k-12 schools, and higher education have become profit-centers for a select few, while retreating from their mission to serve the public welfare.
In my spare time I hike, read, write, and compose music for the piano.
