Book Manuscript :

Useful Fiction: Why Universities Need Middlebrow Literature

WEBSITES

In 1997, I first started working on websites as an intern for the UCLA Alumni Association. I joined a small website project team that met weekly to re-design the entire site from a few dozen pages to several hundred. The following summer, as an intern for the U.S. Senate Democratic Leadership, I worked on daily updates (press releases, statements, etc.) for the websites of several U.S. Senators. As a graduate student in the UCLA English Department, I designed the websites for the Americanist Research Colloquium, a research group for American literature faculty and graduate students at UCLA, and for Professor Mark McGurl.

OPINION PIECES

From 1998-2001, I authored several opinion pieces in the Daily Bruin on a variety of political topics. Here are some of my favorites:

• SAT I Fails by Any Reasonable Measure
• Bush's Tax Plan Doesn't Add Up [This article was discussed and quoted at length in the political blog, The Daily Howler]
• Check back for links to other articles - coming soon!

ODDS AND ENDS

• Check out the Spring 2007 issue of In Focus: The UCLA Student for my short article, "Silk Road to China" (pg. 7).
