Check out what DJ Kaiser is thinking and writing about through his thought pieces published on Medium.

Thought Pieces on Medium

In 2020, I took to writing thought pieces on Medium. This has provided a new venue to explore topics related to language, education, society, politics, leadership, travel, identity, equality, and equity. See my full Medium profile at https://medium.com/@djkaiser with all published pieces.

I have been named a top writer in Education, Politics, and Social Media by the Medium editors.

Listed below are the "friend links" to my thought pieces published in publications. Editors review submitted drafts before publishing them in their publications. Curators on Medium read through published pieces and based on quality and potential interest to readers distribute them into topics.
