I am professor of philosophy at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I have worked since 1982. I completed my dissertation at the University of Toronto in Philosophy and Medieval Studies in 1981. Since Fall 2010 I have been affiliated also with the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in the Philosophy Institute’s De Wulf – Mansion Centre for Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy. There I co-teach Aquinas in Context annually with Prof. Andrea Robiglio using live video technology. Biennially we also include a graduate course on Aquinas and the Arabic Tradition at Marquette, combining the two courses into one. For information, see the links below.
