about
|
I am currently Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology & Philosophy at Sam Houston State University (Huntsville, TX). I teach Aesthetics, Existentialism & Self-Awareness, Philosophy of Film & Literature, Feminist Philosophies, and Introduction to Philosophy. My Research is specializes in 19th-20th century continental or post-Kantian European philosophy. It examines temporality with a view to the ways time produces meaning in human experience, especially in the philosophies of Nietzsche and Heidegger, whose co-implicating tenses of time I phenomenologically explore to ground projects that both deepen engagement in and depart from traditional continental philosophy - particularly along contemporary feminist trajectories. Recent projects conceptually focus on temporal transport via mood (attunement) as it facilitates the movedness of life – exigent, playful, aesthetic, and erotic. My work has been published in Gatherings: The Heidegger Circle Annual, The Journal of Speculative Philosophy, Philosophy Today, Pli: The Warwick Journal of Philosophy, and diacritics. As with most of the phenomenologically inclined, I am passionate about the relation between philosophy and the work of art, especially philosophy and film. When I am not working on philosophy per se, I enjoy traveling, cinema, and fine (though not necessarily expensive) wine among friends. |
