Although I am part of a team-taught interdisciplinary course, I do not teach my own class this term (next fall, I will offer my Sound Studies graduate seminar and the undergraduate intro Comm Studies course again). I am Chair of the Department of Art History and Communication Studies. When not chairing, I hope to make some progress on my book manuscript MP3: The Meaning of a Format and a few articles.
