Biography
I was born and raised in New York, and I have spent most of my adult life bouncing back and forth between coasts. I originally went to Reed College in Portland Oregon, finished college at NYU, went to graduate school at UC Berkeley, and then came back East to teach at Tufts. I love both coasts; sometime I will get a look at the middle of the country.
