  Ph. D.

  The majority of my work at Duquesne University was focused on contemporary continental philosophy. However as I approached my dissertation I found that much of what I valued in the continental tradition had a history or a precedent. My dissertation focused on the work of Kant and Hegel

  and examined the way that distinct metaphysical assumptions have consequences for the way in which logic is thought of. I defended my dissertation successfully on November 4th 2011.

  M.A.

  Although initially focused on Existential Phenomenology

  my interest evolved into Lacanian Psychoanalysis

  Derridean Deconstruction

  and Foucault's analyses of power. The ultimate cornerstone of my M.A. degree was the development of a theoretical framework for the possibility of understanding the nature of ethics in the practice of psychology. My Master's Thesis was on Nietzsche

  Lacan

  and Foucault

  as these thinkers are mobilized in Judith Butler's text: The Psychic Life of Power.

  My recent scholarship has focused on Kant

  Hegel

  and their reception in 20th century philosophy. Primarily my interest was in how their respective conceptions of logic followed from their larger philosophical ambitions. Currently I am working on 1) a paper on Kant's view of the architectonic relation between logic

  ontology

  and transcendental philosophy

  and 2) a manuscript on Spinoza's reception in German Idealism and Postmodern philosophy. The Spinoza text

  tentatively titled \"Haunted Citations

  \" pursues a line of inquiry introduced by Antonio Negri regarding the distinction between immanence and transcendence.
