Hello, fellow Wikipedians. My name is Jarod. I am originally from
Baltimore, Maryland , but currently live in
Austin, Texas . My professional background is in language teaching and international education.

Dakar ,
Sénégal and
Marseille ,
France . I have taught at the
New York Military Academy ,
Amherst Regional High School ,

Editing interests
Most of my contributions to Wikipedia are gnome-like, using the random article link to find subs and make minor edits to articles. I try to restrict my more extensive editing and writing to
Francophone culture,
literature ,
critical theory and
literary criticism ,
education , some
philosophy , and articles about
academia . Through my interests in
comparative literature ,
language , and
culture , I hope to branch out into
African and
Middle Eastern subjects. Articles that I have started include
Senegambia Confederation ,
Them (novel) ,
Randy Steven Kraft ,
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute .
Pitzer Hall at
Claremont McKenna College -This building has been demolished.
