Research Interests

I am an educational philosopher and a psychotherapist with a deepening interest in holistic-contemplative education. Following Raimon Panikkar’s (1918-2010) lead, I understand philosophy’s task for today’s troubled world to be “to know, to love, and to heal.” I bring this three-fold task of philosophy into my teaching and research.

My research calls for the reanimation of our selves within all spheres of human beingness in the service of living ethically and in beauty. Through contemplative inquiry and practices, I offer ways to experiment with replenishing, nourishing, and animating our being.
