Writing

Thinking in public and in print

I write as a way of thinking with others. Some pieces respond to live educational and political moments, while others work more slowly at the level of ontology, ethics, and educational purpose. Taken together, this writing explores how education shapes forms of selfhood, responsibility, and relation in a time of ecological, democratic, and epistemic fragility.

Public essays and ongoing inquiry

Much of my public philosophical writing is published through my LinkedIn newsletter, Structures and Selves. Across this body of work, I explore education, sustainability, global citizenship, and ethical formation, often in response to contemporary controversies, classroom encounters, and institutional dilemmas. This writing sits intentionally between theory and practice, bringing continental philosophy and critical pedagogy into dialogue with lived educational experience.
