Quote: 
“In the end, my research and teaching are about love. By this I mean that I endeavor to passionately, conscientiously engage important concepts, figures, movements, and questions with the hope that my and others’ capacity to love the right things, for the right reasons, and in the right way will be enhanced. I don’t expect to master this lesson, whether as a student or teacher. Yet, the quest for perfection does keep me on high.”
