About this blog:
I’ve created this blog as a supplement to other public places where I place material online. Here, I intend to put things that don’t naturally fit elsewhere.
My academic website is here, where you can find teaching materials, my CV, and links to my research.
My twitter feed can be read here.
My conflict disclosure can be found here.
I am proud that UBC has such a strong policy on academic freedom for UBC community members. But, to my mind, such broad freedom comes with responsibility. So, I strive to adhere to the UBC Statement on Respectful Environment for Students, Faculty and Staff in my public communications.
