Hello,
I am Sam. I am a doctoral candidate in the final stages of my program in the Philosophy of Education at the Ohio State University. My current academic work centers around three questions:
1. What is education?
2. In what sense is study something that is not hinged on intentionality?
3. How can this subsistent form of study serve as a way for the human person to become a subject as opposed to an object - a person not a resource, an end not a mere means?
These three questions are the driving force in my dissertation, "Education, Study, and the Person"
I have also studied, taught, presented, and written on many other topics and issues that range between the educational disciplines of curriculum studies, philosophy of education, and educational foundations; to the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, political theory, and what is often described as the "theological turn" in theology and religious studies. These broad ranging interests are both indicative of my own curiosity of things in general, and of the interdisciplinary implications of my field of study.
The focus of this site is primarily academic in nature; however, I am also an active writer and a professional jazz musician. The contents of this site are an attempt to organize and provide a widely available place to share my work and seek employment. To that end, I hope you (and I) find it to be a helpful resource.
Feel free to contact me with any comments, questions, or suggestions.
Peace and Good,
Sam |
