Hi, I'm Ryan.
I'm an instructional design consultant at Boise State University, a Ph.D. student in English and the Teaching of English, and an academic journal editor.
Whether as a community college librarian, a rhetoric and composition instructor, or the other positions I've held, I help people understand complex ideas and systems, embrace curiosity, and explore alternatives.
A better world is possible, and I aim to help make it happen. If you're still curious, here's more about me.
