R. Matthew Shockey

I am Professor of Philosophy and Director of Sustainability Studies at Indiana University South Bend. Most of my work has been on Martin Heidegger's project of fundamental ontology in and around Being and Time (1927), though I have roots and some lingering interests in early modern thought as well. My current and still very new project looks to draw on Hannah Arendt to help us think about what sort of collective (and, though I'm tired of the term, 'sustainable') future we can and should aspire to. This is in part an attempt to bring my philosophical background to bear on the issues I mostly teach about these days in my role in IUSB's Sustainability Studies program
