My Research And Scholarship
​On this page you will find links to my publications, conference presentations, and lectures. Some of this material is in draft form. My core interests revolve around philosophical anthropology and its two fundamental philosophical question: "what am I that I am a human being?" and "what is my place in the cosmos?"
Exploring these questions has led me to think about the posthuman, human enhancement technologies, gender and identity, the nature of technology, and representations of the human in film and television.
