Glenn Wallis

Glenn Wallis is an American writer, educator, musician, scholar, and public intellectual known for his work with the band Ruin and in the fields of Buddhism, anarchism, critical pedagogy, and mysticism. He is the founder of Incite Seminars, a non-traditional educational initiative based in Philadelphia, and a central figure in the emerging movement known as non-buddhism. Wallis's work tends to combine rigorous academic scholarship with creative and stylistic sophistication. Many of his online flipbook "tracts," for example, contain a self-composed ambient soundtrack. While his work offers far-reaching critique, particularly of education and Buddhism, it nonetheless contains a strong utopian impulse.
