MY STORY / PROVEN SOLUTIONS

We were originally located a couple miles from Floyd Square. Our host school -- and IDH students -- held the Floyd memorial, making international headlines.


On the ground -- until our evacuation a year later during the Chauvin verdict -- our city/lives were insane.Here is what we did -- on top of all our usual work -- to try to help our community.

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD

RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT

I started graduate school on 9/11 to study what happens when emerging technology,postmodern political culture, and pre-digital Constitutional law and civic norms collide.

20 years of proven disinformation IP.
Plus the strategies to rebuild civil dialogue
(or just have your teams disagree better).

  • 2005: INFLUENTIAL EARLY SCHOLARSHIP ON POST-DIGITAL NEWS AND POLITICS

    But since I was way early -- started graduate school on 9/11 to study post-digital American politics & journalism -- most of my early work uses comedy to explain it.
