When teaching writing, the voice must be heard from each student who resonates with varied words and valued worlds.  Furthermore, he is currently co-editing a book entitled Rethinking the Body: Gender and Sexuality, is writing chapters on Korean Cyberpunk and Korean Zombie Cinema, and finally, is developing a book on gamification and education.
