Tim Parrish, M.F.A.br Professor of English, MFAbr Southern Connecticut State University English Department Faculty Tim Parrish br Fiction and Memoir Writingbr br Tim Parrish,​ i haven't read anything so sleazy, so tabloid, so thirsty or br cringeworthy since Ben Carson's memoir of delusional thug life. you br played this like a coward in order to keep your job and still get your br 15 minutes. br Throwing stars? br Cut back on the narcissism and self-aggrandizement for us, br yourself, and bands you used to be in for a second--no one's ever heard them. br br you had no business insinuating yourself into a project, which if not for your participation, would not have included you. You even sell out the co-founder like a snitch on this Facebook message.br br itbr seems that everything you do is motivated by your need to be br legitimized; from your racist upbringing for which you blame your parents, to your self-serving miraculous redemption, abr stunted dilemma between a rock 'n' roll footnote or tenure in academia and a hard place. br br stickbr with academia, at least until someone googles you and has your ass br booted out of University for disingenuous brags, disguised as journalism. br You may almost bebr Dylann Roof yet​.br br My friend and I could have been Dylann Roof. How do we get the poison of racism out of more American bloodstreams?br br Office: Engleman Hall D235br Phone: 203.392.6745br br Email: parrisht1@southernct.edubr Educationbr br MFA in Creative Writing, University of Alabama, 1991br Master's in Secondary Reading Education, Louisiana State University, 1982br Bachelor's in Secondary English Education, minor in math, LSU, 1981br About Professor Parrishbr br I grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and in 1994 made my way to Southern Connecticut State, where my colleagues and I have helped the university evolve into a top-notch, student-centered place of learning. Previously, I taught at LSU, Scotlandville Magnet High School, and the University of Alabama, and think of myself as a teacher who tries hard to meet my students where they are, push them to learn, and make class entertaining and rigorous simultaneously. One of my proudest accomplishments is helping found the first and only full-residence MFA in Creative Writing in Connecticut, and I'm proud to stay that our program has drawn outstanding students from twelve states.
