I am an assistant professor in the Humanities Department at NJIT. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Penn State University. Before that, I was a student at Deep Springs College and Columbia University. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and will be happy to discuss the woes of the Phillies, Eagles, or Sixers anytime. I now live in Brooklyn, NY.
My core interest is in the tacit forms of understanding, for example, "know-how", gut insticts, intuitions, etc. I am interested in how tacit forms of understanding help to explain and describe various fields of social practice, including political discourse, collective action, and online social interaction. My training is in continental philosophy, the philosophy of social science, and the philosophy of technology.
Thank You,enjoyed it and learnt a little too.
btw,here's something that made me laugh(or cry).
How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb? "Hmmm... well there's an interesting question isn't it?" "Define 'light bulb'..." "How can you be sure it needs changing?" Three. One to change it and two to stand around arguing over whether or not the light bulb exists. Cheers
