Philosophy at the Crossroads of the Arts and Sciences

My academic and professional training is in the history of philosophy (The University of Pennsylvania, Ph.D.; Bryn Mawr College, B.A,), with a doctoral thesis on Plato, and undergraduate Honors thesis on Immanuel Kant. I have enjoyed a faculty position in Philosophy-Humanities at UW-Platteville since 2001, and previously as an Adjunct at UT-Knoxville. These academic positions entail teaching a wide range of philosophy courses and adapting my knowledge and application of interdisciplinary philosophy to align with changing times, conditions, and student needs. Interdisciplinary philosophy serves to integrate liberal arts, sciences, and technologies. My publications and professional activities explore intersections and crossroads of philosophy with perennial and contemporary issues in politics, law, economics, psychology, and feminism through a cultural, literary lens. Writing and refining poetry enhances my philosophical pursuits and aims to present philosophy to college students in unique ways.
