Introduction _________________________________ I got my start as a public philosopher while in graduate school in San Diego. During that time, I regularly attended Comic-Con as a panelist and a presenter, discussing issues like fair use in comics, as well as works like Asterios Polyp and Logicomix. Interviews _________________________________ I've been interviewed about my work on comics, video games, and philosophy by outlets like Print Mag and the Official Xbox Magazine, for a special issue on the 10th Anniversary of Halo. On Camera _________________________________ Finally, while I was a postdoc at the Field Museum of Natural History, I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop. The resulting episode of the show is called "The First Brachiosaurus." Please feel free to watch it! | In Print _________________________________ I also had fun writing about video games for Open Court's series of books about the intersection between Popular Culture and Philosophy (edited by George Reisch). For one of the books, I wrote a chapter on feminism and the Zelda games with my grad school colleague Iris M. Jahng. Blog Posts _________________________________ I've also guest-blogged at Comics Forum, about how to use comics inclusively in the classroom. Normal Stuff _________________________________ You can check out my traditional academic credentials by perusing my CV, or read about my education and employment history by clicking the picture above. | More Print _________________________________ And I wrote about Master Chief, the main character in the Halo games, as a way to introduce gamers to classic philosophical puzzles about personal identity. That was especially fun, and I'd like to thank Luke Cuddy, another colleague from grad school, for editing both those books. More Blogging _________________________________ And now I am a co-founder and regular contributor at the philosophy of paleontology blog Extinct, along with my wonderful fellow philosophers Adrian Currie, Leonard Finkelman, and Derek Turner. The End _________________________________ I really enjoy practicing philosophy outside the academy, in addition to doing more typical academic work like writing technical articles and teaching undergraduates. Thanks for visiting and reading! |
