Background

About Gregory Jackson

I completed my Ph.D. in Philosophy at Maynooth University in October 2018, where I also taught second and third year students in the Philosophy Department and the Department of Applied Social Studies, as well as tutoring first year students. I currently lead the MA Course at BIMM Dublin, and teach research methods for creative practices. My area of specialty is in phenomenology and aesthetics, as well as qualitative research methods in creative practices and specifically practice as research and auto-ethnography. I have trained and worked in specialty coffee shops, and I have a sustained interest in community sustainability projects. I have worked with community group Cultivate Celbridge, and was involved in the steering committee for Derrybeg Farms, a community supported agriculture project in Celbridge. I am also a performance artist and sound artist, interested in the phenomenology of space and its role in reflective thinking. Previous works include 'A Tired Soul Reflects on the Contemporary Landscape and Briefly Forgets his Ignorance', and 'Dreadful Politics', as well as a number of more lighthearted stand-up philosophy performances. One of 'Two Philosophers Drink Beer & Discuss Film', a podcast that offers philosophical readings of popular films.
