I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Belmont Abbey College, where I also routinely teach in the Honors College. Before coming to Belmont Abbey College, I did my PhD as a Presidential Scholar in the Department of Philosophy at Baylor University. And before Baylor, I completed the M.A. in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut, where I was also an Outstanding Scholars Fellow.
My research interests primarily lie in metaphysics, mereology, mediæval philosophy (especially Saint Thomas Aquinas), philosophy of religion, and philosophy of mind. I am especially interested in Scholastic applications to contemporary issues in metaphysics and philosophy of religion. My dissertation from Baylor, Et in Pulverem Reverteris, explains why, on hylomorphism, our souls survive our deaths, but we don't. My interests also include logic, free will, theories of truth, and meta-ethics. If you are interested in any of these topics or want to discuss my work, please feel free to contact me. |
