“As Well As” is what we say when we’re adding something, an afterthought joining a forethought. The phrase suggests that the core idea could use a bit more ornamentation, a low priority accent. But our intrigue with “as well as” is that the bold, front-ended idea is somehow insufficient. This captures my approach to scholarship and life. While I am interested in primary narratives, what intrigues me more is what’s beyond, the inconspicuous that most enriches our understanding.

The subtitle—”Addendums that Redefine”—stresses that the additions are not excess afterthoughts but transformative for the main idea. My goal is to move beyond what exists—be it conventional, worn narratives or widely-accessed new content—to discoveries that probe from the depths, margins, and hypotheticals of our thinking. This subtitle signals a commitment to deeper inquiry, questioning assumptions, and carefully sewing new seeds.
