SWAGÊÓƵ Me
My research interests are in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion. Currently, I am working on two projects. The first focuses on the nature of epistemic authority. The second focuses on how suffering transforms a person's relationship with God. My teaching interests include logic, philosophy of religion, medieval philosophy (especially the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas), and the relation between science and religion. I hold a joint appointment in Catholic studies at the University of Mary. I enjoy helping students see how the Catholic faith has become incarnate in history, literature, music, and the fine arts.
Why I’m At MaryI'm at Mary to know God and make God known.
