WELCOME
This website* is my online portfolio for creative research, as well as for information relating to my extended professional activities. It is my intention that this interface will elucidate and contextualize key elements and contributions of my career to date – highlighting my engagement at local, national, and international plateaux – as well as my commitment to excellence in Teaching and Service at the University of Regina, and to the extended communities I serve. For more information on how to navigate this site, please click here.
Note: If you are looking for my art, it can be found in the Portfolio section from the Creative Research drop-down in the navigation bar above.
