- “Space has its own set of appeals. We create places from spaces continually and most often unintentionally…We compose by living; in our living, we participate in the emergence of ecologies.”
- “What individuals and group do always affect the direction of change…Places are ecologies; they change through the interactions of beings and forces that constitutes them. So it matters a lot what stories get told, and how often.”
- "All spaces are weird – until histories emerge and make the space a place. At the same time, no place is stable; they are always new to someone, and they are always changing…[We should] consider the materiality and embodiment of composing in other not-always-the-same places like college writing classrooms, to consider how our bodies’ locations and desires, and how we image our bodies, change those places."
