“My time studying philosophy at Carleton trained me to ask questions that cut to the heart of any issue. I think of philosophy as being about the understanding of structures, how they operate and are organized, and how their components interact with one another. Studying philosophy with this mindset prepared me well for my professional life and my artistic pursuits. I think the world of Carleton’s philosophy instructors, and I am particularly grateful for the tutelage of my thesis advisor, David Matheson.”
