Ideas in Public
Writing, features, interviews, and other places my ideas have traveled.
My work takes different forms and lives in different places. This is a collection of essays, articles, interviews, features, and conversations that have carried my ideas beyond my own writing space.
Some are scholarly, some practical, some personal, and some somewhere in between. Together, they trace the questions I keep returning to, how my thinking has changed through practice and conversation, and a little of where it has been along the way.

Invite Me to Write
I welcome invitations to contribute essays, articles, book chapters, commentary, reports, toolkits, curricula, and collaborative writing projects.
I’m especially interested in work that connects scholarship with practice, makes room for complexity, and helps people understand or apply ideas in meaningful ways. This may include writing for educators, leaders, librarians, institutions, nonprofits, publishers, and community organizations.
Possible projects include:
essays, articles, and book chapters
curriculum and instructional materials
courses, modules, and professional learning content
facilitator guides and learning activities
toolkits, reports, and open educational resources
interviews, commentary, and editorial contributions
collaborative and commissioned writing
My curriculum work can include concept development, learning outcomes, instructional sequencing, content writing, activities, assessments, facilitator materials, and accessibility-minded revision. I’m particularly drawn to projects involving open education, leadership, learning design, faculty development, care, community, and institutional change.
Have an idea that is still taking shape? You do not need to have every detail figured out. Share what you know so far, and we can determine whether the project is a good fit.
