Philosophy

I particularly work on John Dewey and related philosophers (George Herbert Mead, Edgar Singer Jr., Grace de Laguna).

See my Academia.edu page for various writings on philosophy of mind and moral philosophy.

See my YouTube channel for videos on philosophy of mind, art, games, etc. My occasional "Adventures Among Ideas" series is available there and also as an audio podcast on various apps.

I am also an editor of the forthcoming "Collected Essays of James Ogilvy." Volume 1 is available in paperback at Amazon or as a PDF. Some of my work with Jay is documented at the Choosing Our Futures YouTube channel.

English & American Literature

I am particularly attracted to African American novelists like Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Toni Morrison. But I have also done work on English writers like Thomas Carlyle and Douglas Adams.

See my Academia.edu page for examples.

Music Studies

I am currently researching American modernist composers like Henry Cowell and Lou Harrison, and Taiwanese new music composers like Hsu Tsang-Houei (許常惠), Lu Yen (盧炎), and Chen Mao-Shuen (陳茂萱).

My graduate research was on Odia/Odissi music from India. See my Academia.edu for my dissertation and various other writings and translations on this topic.

My book-length study and translation of the 19th-century Odia song cycle Kisoracandrananda Campu by Kabisurjya Baladeba Ratha has been published by the Indian publisher Vidyapuri. (PDF)

Game Studies

I am interested in the relationship between art and games (especially videogames). I especially focus on Dungeons & Dragons.

See my YouTube channel and Medium page for talks and writings on these topics.

Cultural History & Analysis

See my Academia.edu page for writings on Romanticism and analyses of people such as Jon Hassell, Morse Peckham, and Jordan Peterson.

See my YouTube channel for videos Romanticism and literature. Also see the "Adventures Among Ideas" podcast.

And I am working on a book about the cultural historian/philosopher Morse Peckham with Romanticism and film studies scholar Will Kitchen.
