What is Critic at Large?
This newsletter is a weekly look at cultural creations — literature, art, film, music, etc. — old and new. Each week I examine a particular work and discuss its artistic and creative value. My aim with each post is to illuminate cultural works, especially ancient and/or obscure creations, worth experiencing.
About me
I am an independent researcher and author. I am also a Ph.D. student in English Language, Writing, and Rhetoric at the University of Maryland, where my research focuses on the rhetoric of extreme trauma. I was formerly a Senior Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at the University of Maryland.
Before writing full-time, I was the Executive Director of World 50 Labs, the member-innovation team at World 50, Inc. Before World 50, I was a Principal in Ernst & Young’s Advisory Practice and, earlier, a Managing Director at Accenture.
