Biography

I am Professor of Philosophy at the University of Galway.  My early education took place in Ireland (University College Galway and University College Dublin). I began my Doctorate journey at McMaster University Hamilton, Canada and my PhD was awarded at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany, where I completed a thesis on Heidegger under the supervision of Prof. Klaus Held. The 2010/2011 academic year was spent teaching and researching as a Fulbright Scholar at Fordham University in New York City.My research and teaching is informed by Phenomenological Philosophy with thematic emphases on Religion, the Self, Violence and the Philosophy of Nature. as well as the History of Modern Philosophy. In addition to my work on Heidegger, I have published on Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Ricoeur, Levinas and Marion. 17 PhD students have completed theses under my supervision in Ireland and I have also taught undergraduates in Canada, Germany and the US.Over the course of the last three decades, I have given talks in the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Norway and Hong Kong. Currently, I am currently the President of the Irish Philosophical Society and am Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Religion at the University of Galway. I contribute to the Philosophy research areas of "Philosophy of Science, Environmental Ethics, Philosophy of Technology and Metaphysics" (https://www.universityofgalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences-and-celtic-studies/histo...) and  "Philosophy of Culture, Philosophy of Religion, Political Philosophy  (www.universityofgalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences-and-celtic-studies/histo...)
