Research
My interests are varied. Most recently I have been studying the work of GH Mead and coming to better understand various frameworks for describing and explaining the self, self-consciousness (or reflective consciousness), and the social construction of “reality”. This has also led me to learn more about existential phenomenology through the work of Heidegger and Samuel Todes. As a consequence of this philosophical study I am interested in how individuals, groups, and organizations reflect leadership as seen through the lens of ecological psychology, symbolic interactionism, situated theory, apprenticeship models of learning & knowing, and post-structural interpretations. Underlying most of my inquiries is a fundamental interest in how and why we affect each other as we do and how and why we are affected. I am also interested in the intersection of my scholarly interests with Ignatian pedagogy and spirituality. I weave all of the above into my teaching and writing. On a more personal note I also study yoga and yoga philosophy. I am currently teaching a conscious parenting class with my wife Karen through her yoga studio in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
