Wikipedia for Educators is an overview of the site and some of the issues it raises, originally written as a presentation for the eTech Ohio Conference.
Social Network Sites and the High Fidelity Model of Identity is a short essay with a descriptive title.
My most ambitious piece of writing is George Frederick Wright and the Harmony of Science and Revelation, a historical study of the mind of a theologian-geologist who lived from 1838 to 1921. The paper, submitted as an honors thesis at Oberlin College, focuses on Wright’s ideas about the relationship between Christianity and Darwinism.
While at Oberlin I also wrote Educational Choice “on the Side of the Child”: Liberalism and Libertarian Education, an essay focusing on two major educational theorists whose politics tended toward the libertarian left. A.S. Neill and John Holt were leaders of the free school and unschooling movements respectively. I examined the relationships between their politics and educational theories, as well as the role of their ideas in contemporary school choice debates.
I also reported for The Oberlin Review. I wrote one article, printed under the headline Professor Sparks Intelligent Design Debate, on a lecture by biologist and intelligent design theory opponent Ken Miller, as well as a number of articles, listed below, on Oberlin College politics and administration.
