Currently Professor in the College of Education at Ohio University, I am struggling with the practical ramifications of my commitment to an intellectually grounded teacher education. Funding this commitment and also providing respite from its dailiness are theoretical and aesthetic pursuits that help me make sense of the complexities and shortcomings of experience. This hardly constitutes a research agenda--more like a series of pointed encounters. Recent explorations of this sort have, for example, led to Foucauldian analyses of educational practices, outraged commentary on the manufactured benefits of educational technology, and some mucking about in large data sets.

And I still get a junior-high buzz from passing and receiving e-mail notes (without getting caught): howley@oak.cats.ohiou.edu
