Design Principles for Digital Badge Systems: A Comparative Method
I’m traveling to Tallinn, Estonia next week for a workshop on Open Badges in education. I was accepted to present a paper on how we studied the 30 badge programs from the 2012 DML Competition for the DPD Project. I think our method could be used again to study a different set of badge programs, […]
My goals, for posterity.
I just updated my LinkedIn profile for the first time in forever. They asked me to put up a summary of my goals, so I wrote this. I’ll post it here as well to look back on some years down the line. I will certainly specialize in one particular area, but for now my goals […]

Constitutional Law paper on Gitmo detainee
My Winter 2006 ConLaw class was fascinating, particularly because of the focus on contemporary Supreme Court cases. Our final assignment was to propose a ruling on a “War on Terror” detainee case pending before the court, Mahdi v. Rumsfeld. Ahmad Mahdi (For some reason our teacher called him that instead of “Ahmad Hamdan”) is currently […]

Moral Environmentalism
In a tedious class on environmental politics, I wrote this paper exploring what the present generation’s moral responsibility to posterity requires it to do about energy use. This paper is interesting to me now, looking back on it, because I hadn’t yet taken John Davidson’s class on Intergenerational Politics, so my ideas about the moral […]
