Writing

Writing that uses the past to make sense of the present.

The current center of gravity is The AI Pilgrim — an ongoing series that reads this AI moment through historical analogy: what earlier generations faced when their world shifted, and what that suggests about ours.

I write as a historian by training and a practitioner by trade. The series draws on both — archival habits of mind applied to a technology that is rearranging work, learning, and public institutions in real time.

Alongside the series, longer‑form essays are in development on organizational silence, learning under pressure, and how we talk about resilience.

Series posts live on LinkedIn and are linked below. Essays will be linked here as they are completed.

The AI Pilgrim

The series so far.

Moments when the map ran out and people had to figure it out in real time — paired with questions about the moment we're in now. Best read in order, starting with the introduction. Links open on LinkedIn.

Provocations and one‑off posts.

Some of these run under a recurring banner — "Hey, what about this?" — short provocations meant to start conversations, not settle them. The rest stand alone.

Long‑form

Essays that take more time and space.

These pieces take up specific questions in more detail and are meant to be read slowly. They are less about offering quick solutions and more about naming dynamics clearly.

Essays in development

  • On the Nature of Organizational Silence
  • Learning Under Duress
  • The Myth of "Resilience"

Access and next steps

As these essays are completed, they may live as downloadable PDFs, as part of a future collection, or on a dedicated platform. This page will point to whichever format makes the most sense.

If you are interested in early drafts, or in using any of this material within a course, workshop, or organizational setting, the best path is to begin with a conversation.
