I bring an Arts and Humanities world view to food leadership, law/policy, entrepreneurship, everyday life, and human flourishing through the lenses of poetics, aesthetics, and humanistic education. My teaching promotes communities of practice, reflective practice, and experiential learning toward student self-actualization. My and students’ research present creative works, literary/art criticism, analytic philosophy, and text/arts-based qualitative inquiry on various student-selected topics such as home gardeners, food cooperatives, children’s books and food literacy, and the significance of art in daily living. I aspire to contribute to the collective potentials of humanity and to happiness for all life on Earth.
