Buenos Dias.
My name is John Thomas Brittingham. I love to teach, read, and create. I am originally from the East Coast of the United States but now I reside in St. Louis, MO with my family.
I did my M.A. at Boston College where I studied hermeneutics and phenomenology. In 2014, I completed my Ph.D at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. My dissertation was called "A Phenomenology of Incarnate Experience" and focused on the phenomenology of the body as experienced within non-presentational modes of givenness. Along the way, I've written essays on phenomenology, social/political philosophy, and popular culture. I've also been the program director of an academic honors program, chaired a faculty diversity, equity, and inclusion committee, and worked in a variety of capacities to promote teaching and learning in higher education through the use of multiple modalities of delivery.
My current research interests are in Latin American/Caribbean philosophy and decolonial thought. I am working on two projects right now in this vein: one is a project on embodiment in decolonial thought and the other is a book examining the possibility of decolonial pedagogy.
Currently, I am an instructional designer with GW, Inc. and an adjunct professor for various universities. Previously, I was an Instructor of Philosophy in the School of Theology, Philosophy, and Ministry at Greenville University in Illinois. I was also the director of the McAllaster Honors Program at Greenville University, where I taught and directed approximately 100 undergraduate students, and a Summer Studies Instructor with the late Duke Talent Identification Program, where I taught academically adept high school students every summer for almost a decade.
