looking forward
As I read, however, I applied much personally, to my own feelings and condition. I found myself similar yet at the same time strangely unlike to the beings concerning whom I read and to whose conversation I was a listener. I sympathized with and partly understood them, but I was unformed in mind; I was dependent on none and related to none. "The path of my departure was free," and there was none to lament my annihilation. My person was hideous and my stature gigantic. What did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination?

These two images from Barbara Kruger, "Untitled (You are not yourself), 1981" and "Untitled (You thrive on mistaken identity), 1981" are used in a cut-up with my own work for this book's key image. These images not only serve as visual inspiration for my portfolio, but they become guide posts concerning identity and ideology -- two pivotal concepts that have framed my pedagogical theory and practice up to this point.
As I look forward to the next term of teaching and researching, I will continue to hone these concepts and make their importance to my pedagogical theory and practice even more apparent.
