 The Collegian, the student newspaper at The University of Tulsa, features a regular column called See Me After Class — profiles and interviews of professors on campus. As I'm a newbie at TU (well, sorta), this week was my turn. I visited Mark Brewin's Introduction to Media Studies class, which Michael Tran wrote about for the feature. It's part bio, part research statement, part advice to aspiring journalists. Always a good day when I get to leave "Hatsune Miku" on the white board.

It's the first week of classes at The University of Tulsa, where I'm a new Visiting Assistant Professor of Media Studies. My upper-division seminar is Music as Social Action, a theoretical and historical survey of American protest songs. And wouldn't you know it — a protest song just went viral around the country. Given this confluence — and the fact that stories about the song keep tagging Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg, with whom I have some considerable personal experience — I had some thoughts. My colleagues at the Tulsa World were good enough to print them.
