i taught european history, social theory/philosophy and (when i could get away with it) experimental music/sound art courses at the university level for about 15 years. i decided at some point that i wanted to move into making new things rather than talking about other people who made new things, so i stopped teaching. my plan is to move back into it in an interdisciplinary context (writing maybe, in an art school maybe) but the way the market out there is the only sane way to approach it is to make things, put them out into the world and do something else that lets you operate as you'd like. i enjoy teaching and sometimes miss it.
