I am Professor of Philosophy in the History and Political Science Department of York College of Pennsylvania. I received my B.A. in Philosophy from Emory University and my Ph.D. in Philosophy from The University of Texas at Austin. I have served as department chair, Coordinator of the Philosophy and Religious Studies Programs, Assistant Director of General Education for First-Year Seminars, Academic Senate President.
My research interests span the intersection of philosophical anthropology, philosophy of technology, and popular culture. I am the co-author of Designing the Domestic Posthuman (Bloomsbury, 2024) and have edited or co-edited two volumes, Interpreting Man (Davies, 2003) and Design, Mediation, and the Posthuman (Lexington 2014). I've published a variety of journal articles on philosophical anthropology, philosophy of technology, science fiction, and the posthuman.
I am currently working on two projects. The first, Being Human in a Digital Age, explores the resources philosophical anthropology offers for rethinking the posthuman in a technological age and the challenges of reconceptualizing personhood. The second, Moving Images, Mechanical Minds, is currently under review at Palgrave MacMillan and examines the treatment of human-robot relations in contemporary media.
