I am interested in philosophy as education. My philosophy of education practice emanates from my scholarship on Friedrich Nietzsche, Paulo Freire and 1960's democratic reformers such as Neil Postman and Ivan Illich. I remain concerned with what kind of individual is supported by various pedagogical practices.
