​Family

I am incredibly fortunate to belong to families in New York City and Connecticut, Singapore, and Dioula, Cameroon.

I make a point to talk about my family when I teach, so that students see that family life factors into professional performance, and that professional ambition is enlivened -- and impeded -- by family.  At the end of the day, I would unflinchingly trade a filing cabinet of articles and a bookshelf of books for a life filled with family.
