BIOGRAPHY

I am a philosopher of education with an interest in the interrelationship between moral and political philosophy and educational theory, with a particular interest in theories of justice, democratic theory, and the philosophical foundations of peace education and human rights.  I am the Founding Editor of In Factis Pax: Online Journal of Peace Education and Social Justice. I am published in such academic journals as the Journal of Peace Education, Educational Theory, Educational Studies, Peace Studies Journal, and Philosophical Studies in Education (see below).

My core research focus areas are democratic theory, theories of justice, the ethics of war and peace, critical theory, and the philosophy of peace education and human rights education.
