More than 32 years in the publishing industry—enriched by university work (in front of students as lecturer-facilitator or in the background as an editor for the university press) and by cultural advocacy—made me realize the need to transform knowledge into something accessible and useful to benefit more people outside of the academe.

Thus, while academic collaborations help transform the products of scholarship and research—through publication and capacity-building—into staple processes and resources for the common good, creative works help promote these visions into lasting edifying public experiences of learning.

Education that is sustained by practical mass scholarship and is carried in visionary community art forms a solid base for peoples culture to evolve with technology and address everyday problems to transform the public into empowered communities thriving on the critical dynamics of cultural interaction and educational exchanges through books, training programs, and celebrations.
