Dr. Robert Phillips

Bio

While I have offered a wide range of courses in fields ranging from Organizational Leadership to Citizenship and Civil Society, my teaching and research areas of emphasis have been the History of Political Philosophy and issues related to Religion & Politics. 

I have also always enjoyed teaching courses and developing curriculum that draws from diverse academic fields. As a Catholic teacher, scholar and administrator, I have frequently found these collaborations to provide both an intellectual challenge and a welcome opportunity to deepen my understanding and practice of the Faith

Areas of Academic Interest:

• History of Political Philosophy
• Religion and Politics 
• Philosophy & Practice of Leadership 
• Citizenship and Local Community Development
