Casey Rentmeester
I received my B.A. from Saint Norbert College in 2005 and my M.A. in 2007 from Kent State University. I completed my Ph.D. in the Spring of 2012 from the University of South Florida where I wrote a dissertation on environmental philosophy, focusing specifically on issues of resource depletion and climate change from a Heideggerian perspective. I am interested in just about all fields of philosophy but specialize in ethics, applied ethics, and Continental thought. I also have a strong interest in Eastern thought, especially in philosophical Daoism. Because I believe that our current environmental crisis is among the most important challenges that we face as a society, most of my work in the past few years has been focused on this issue.
