A little more about Dan:
What is your favorite city?
Milwaukee—come visit.
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?
A radish. It’s unexpectedly intense, especially since I think a lot of people assume it’ll be more sweet like an apple due to similar aesthetics. I think I can be unexpectedly intense, both with candor and humor. But over time, some people find nuance and enjoyment in the intensity. There can also be twists in flavor. The unexpected keeps things interesting.
Who inspires you and why?
Michelle Jones, an American Studies Ph.D. student at NYU. While serving a two-decade sentence at the Indiana Women’s Prison, she researched and published on the history of prostitution and incarceration, while also writing dance and theatre compositions. What inspires me more than her academic and artistic triumphs is her tenacity to pursue new knowledge despite experiencing forms of oppression and adversity most of us will never know.
