I began teaching in 1990 at a social service organization–Jobs for Youth/Chicago–and it has been a wonderful ride ever since.  My home base has been Oak Park and River Forest High School, but I’ve taught in over fifty schools in Chicago, Columbus and London along the way, as well as at several universities including as a Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths-University of London.
