Because I get trans-related hatemail, I do not list my contact info here any more.
- If you are my student, find my email address on Canvas.
- If you need to get in contact with me regarding an academic or professional matter, please write to my department chair, Abra Brisbin, at brisbia@uwec.edu to ask for my email address.
- If you're looking for me as President of HRPNA, please visit randallparkec.org.
I have thoughts about whether I should just post my info. It's complicated. Sorry it's hard to get ahold of me.
