FACULTY & GLOBAL AFFILIATE SCHOLAR BIOGRAPHIES
structure and agency seem impossible in the first place—an optimistic paradigm! Also, as part of the “methodological pluralism” of Critical Realism, Professor Coletta is also interested in, as appropriate, the incorporation of Indigenous methodologies (see Margaret Kovach’s book Indigenous Methodologies: Characteristics, Conversations, and Contexts, Second Edition, University of Toronto Press, 2021, 328 pages) into research design and evaluation. Professor Coletta is founder and CEO of INT3RP Inc, a consulting company specializing in marketing and branding semiotics (the writing of industry whitepapers) but also hoping to expand into sustainability semiotics, medical semiotics, forensic semiotics, gaming semiotics (for videogames and D&D), cognitive semiotics, and AI (what Coletta calls EI, Evolutionary Intelligence).
