As a writer and professor, I focus on issues in media, culture and society.

 

I have published four books and numerous scholarly articles on beliefs about media influence; the commercialization of country music; the social role of the arts, and fans and fandom.

 

My public scholarship deals with fame, arts advocacy, and antidepressants, and I continue to write essays on aspects of media and modern life. 

 

My work-in-progress focuses on recovery from toxic productivity, drawing on insights from Judaism, Buddhism, Benedictine monasticism and Twelve Step programs.

​

Write No Matter What: Advice for Academics helps scholars deal with a variety of writing challenges.  It is based in my experience creating and directing a faculty writing program at the University of Tulsa.
