Graduate StudentPhilosophy and ReligionArea of Specialization: 20th century Continental philosophy (esp Heidegger), Phenomenology, Philosophy of Technology, Environmental Aesthetics, Topoanalysis and Critical Urban studies  Area of Competence: Ethics, Metaethics, Aesthetics, History of Philosophy   Bio  I am a first year PhD student and Teaching Assistant in the Philosophy and Religion department. My approach to philosophy – very broadly – tries to untangle and critically investigate the histories of different axes of our contemporary human condition(s) through philosophy of technology, the development of modern conceptions of the self, individuality, and community, aesthetics of nature and environments, and the social organization of spatiality and temporality in the urban. Outside of the classroom, I am deeply interested in films, architecture, and touching grass.
