Abstract
What other choice do I have? I am a student … I am a teacher. They are my students … they are my teachers.

The subtle vicissitudes of meaning that emerge from this trichotomy inspire endless fascination as I juggle (or should I say peddle) identity politics and a post-structuralist, post-modernist performance narrative within this bizarre fantasy/reality before me.
