Emerson College Research & Creative Scholarship

YOU’VE CHANGED has a cover! A book for anyone who’s ever tried to shed an old skin—or watched someone else do it and thought, "Really?" It’s about people chasing transformation, others denying they’ve even jiggled their ideological thermostat, and what change looks like in an age of political derangement, tech disruption, and psychic despair. It’s about how much of what we “know” about change is wrong. Thanks to everyone who talked to me over the last six years: psychedelic reality benders, name-changers, gender and sexuality reimaginers, political team-hoppers, octogenarian personality shifters, reformed killers, change-obsessed psychologists, and my dad—a breath and meditation teacher who once wrote a newsletter on the “art and science of self-transformation.” (Apple, meet tree.) Out April 28 from @WmMorrowBooks and (with a different cover) @PenguinUKBooks. Pre-order link in bio.

🎭📘💻🔴New Book! 'Digital Access to the Performing Arts: A Comparative Study of Legal and Structural Challenges' explores urgent need to rethink digital access in theatre. 💥🎭 @BrisUniPress @metalabharvard #DigitalAccess #digitaltheater #AICopyright bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/digital-access…

Are we in a new golden age of biography? Past @CullmanNYPL Fellow Megan Marshall thinks so, celebrating three "sumptuous" new books—two by recent Fellows Lance Richardson and Francesca Wade—and the institutions that support them (like this one!): lithub.com/are-we-enterin…

I wrote this piece for my high school alumni magazine and they called it "A Professor's Optimism" which I definitely had more of when I turned it in in August
