I graduated from New York University Arts & Sciences with a Master’s Degree in sociology

I graduated from Cornell University Arts and Science with a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

I was accepted as an undergraduate at MIT at age 15. I attended the technology university for four semesters before transferring to Cornell University Arts and Sciences.

I did not know Gerry Coulter well personally. Yet I have considered him to be my friend. Our intellectual, political, and academic perspectives have been very close to one another. We have been comrades-in-arms, fighting for the same cause. We have both been deeply engaged with Jean Baudrillard’s system of thought.

Jean Baudrillard is well known for his theory of simulation (simulacra, virtuality, hyper-reality, models and codes precede ‘the real’) – expressed most iconically in his book Simulacra and Simulation (1981) – a breakthrough fundamental apprehension about the situation of ‘postmodern’ culture.
