I work as the Beamer-Schneider Professor in Ethics and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. I graduated from New Hartford High School in New Hartford, NY and attended the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, France; Yale College, and University of Chicago. In addition to teaching at a variety of liberal arts colleges, I helped develop the Department of International Studies at American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. I am the author of The Ecological Life (2006) and Solar Calendar (forthcoming, 2016), and co-edited Ethical Adaptation to Climate Change (2012) with Allen Thompson. Finally, I worked on the research team for Daniel and Sandra Scheinfeld et al.'s We Are All Explorers: Learning and Teaching with Reggio Principles in Urban Settings (2008).
