Personal/Political Essays

Mostly I've written for academic journals. I used to write a regular political column for my local weekly paper and now occasionally write other opinion columns.

Around 1999 my writing turned more self-consciously personal. I wrote several essays, often touching on political topics -- the personal does turn out to be political, after all -- but my general purpose was to reflect on my own life rather than make political points.

After 9/11 events drew me back to more traditional political pieces. I'd like to get back to this, though.

Note!

Many people reach this page via a Web search for "personal essays" or "political essays." I'm glad for your visit.

However, if you're looking for an essay to pass off as one of your own for a school assignment, I don't think you'll find much of use. I also don't like someone using my work without attribution.

If your need for a homework shortcut stems from dissatisfaction with your education, check out these education activism sites.


You can receive my essays, columns, and other papers by email.
