ABOUT ME

I am a President’s Professor in Media Studies at the University of Tulsa and Executive Producer of the Switchyard Podcast. Honors for my work include a James Beard Award, three Heartland Emmy Awards, two regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, and three Eric Sevareid Awards.

As a senior producer at Nebraska Public Media, I wrote and produced a PBS Digital 360° video series about the Platte Basin Watershed, a short film about the history and current state of conservation of the American bison, and podcasts about skateboarding in the Midwest and about the Farm Bill, co-sponsored by Harvest Public Media and FERN.

My photographs have appeared in Bloomberg Businessweek, The Guardian, Harper’s, Huffington Post, In These Times, Maclean’s, Mother Jones, The Nation, The New Republic, the New York Times, OnEarth, and the Washington Post

My book, Nature’s Mirror: How Taxidermists Shaped America's Natural History Museums and Saved Endangered Species, was published by the University of Chicago Press in December 2020.
