Interdisciplinary scholars get to contribute to diverse academic departments and programs. Since 2003, I’ve offered courses in American Studies, Communication & Culture, Comparative Studies, Folklore & Ethnomusicology, and Rhetoric & Composition at Indiana University–Bloomington, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and The Ohio State University in Columbus. Student and faculty colleagues in all these spaces have enriched my own learning along the way.
