Sean Blenkinsop describes his Current Work

Author: Sean Blenkinsop.For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sean Blenkinsop and I have been part of the Faculty of Education at SFU for almost 18 months and the IERG for almost 30.I was hired after a stint as an IERG post-doctoral researcher, which in turn happened shortly after finishing a doctorate in philosophy of education at Harvard.The result, you ask, of this whirlwind, beyond being a new faculty member and moving thousands of miles across Canada into the most expensive housing market our nation has to offer, well … I am the least known of the three co-directors of the IERG.So apparently, although anonymity has some significant advantages, my job, in 400 words or less, is to rectify that seeming dearth of knowledge and tell you a little more about my research interests and current research projects.My doctoral work focused on the philosophical school of existentialism, primarily relating to questions of choice, dialogue, and freedom, and was an initial exploration of thinking more comprehensively about a philosophy of education based in existentialism.
