Professor of English who has also become a Professor of Art & Design because of work in Limited Fork Theory, a philosophy of making, thinking, teaching, learning that is the study of interacting language systems (any/all visual, sonic, olfactory, tactile systems/subsystems on any/all scales). Limited Forks are tools of dynamic reconfiguration, rermapping, reengaing, reworking, and transformation that emphasize how and where connections form for some period of time in some location, including imagination.

Limited Forks are tools of dynamic reconfiguration, rermapping, reengaing, reworking, and transformation that emphasize how and where connections form for some period of time in some location, including imagination.

Applied Limited Fork Theory outcomes are poams, products of acts of making (of which a poem is a form). Because Limited Fork assumes flux, assumes that a poem, as well as most other poams, are events, and that most events are joined and exited in progress. Limited Fork also assumes that poams tend to be outcomes of collaborating events. Notions of authorship and ownership are necessarily reconfigured when forked.

As form is also an event, the form of a poam is part of what emerges in a system of events that generate poam(s).

Limited Fork Theory studies growth, and grows through these investigative events.

An obvious limitation of a limited fork is the space between tines, or opportunities to not grasp everything. At best, Limited Fork Theory acknowledges that work is being done with partialities of partialities, and that this work tends to take place on surfaces, no matter where these surfaces are located; for instance, no mater how deeply inside something a surface is embedded. Each layer of something is a surface where events might occur.

In Limited Fork, time is a dynamic object and may be investigated in any ways that dynamic objects may be investigated.

Since Limited Fork Theory emerged in October 2004 at the Quality 16 Cinema in Ann Arbor, MI, I have been reconfigured myself, transformed into a Proforker whose English classes must now embrace any subject area, whose classes are more theme based than discipline restrictive.
