BA (DePaul) Philosophy, German
PhD (Toronto) Philosophy

My interests are in the history of philosophy, specifically continental philosophy in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. I specialize in Kierkegaard, as well as the fields on which he had broad impact, namely existentialism and phenomenology. I am particularly intrigued by questions of performance, interaction, language and intentionality - all of which I am most fond of contemplating in reference to humor and comedy. I have acted for over 10 years as a commissioning editor for the Toronto-based, annual publication Alphabet City (co-published with MIT Press). I am also the author of comics, translations and have been active in the production of various independent films as a writer, actor and assistant director. I teach courses in metaphysics, existentialism, philosophy of religion and the history of philosophy. My current research involves the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and I act as program co-ordinator for Continental Philosophy in a Jewish Context, an affiliated society of the Society for Phenomenological and Existential Philosophy. My most recent publication is on the phenomenology of prayer.
