It was excellent to be part of the Texas Media Sweet Sixteen Homecoming Event in October at the new Belo Center for Media at UT Austin. Not only was it great to see old friends and faculty, I was also lucky to receive the award for being from the earliest Texas Media cohort. Looking forward to the next reunion!

I am a Doer
I am very excited to be featured in the ongoing TCU ad campaign for “Doers, Dreamers, and Trailblazers” – includes a nice write up about my research and teaching. And, it is just in time for my tenure packet submission ;).
Research Meditation
Most academics I know use the summer as a period of research hibernation – all of those projects and ideas that couldn’t get executed during the school year come alive during the dog days of summer.
In this spirit, here is a nice relaxing video to get your mind settled before you begin – it was taken on the grounds of the Kimbell Museum of Art in Fort Worth, Texas. You can have the place almost entirely to yourself on a weekday evening :).
