Dr. Georganna Ulary
Assistant Professor of Philosophy
Bio
While I am a professional philosopher who deeply values the joy and rigor of my academic profession, I believe that philosophy is a way of life and a way of engaging with the world. As such, I philosophically engage with the world in a variety of ways outside of the professional limitations normally assumed: being a mother, friend, gardener, boxer, cook, and traveler are just a few of the other, less academically-engaged ways I practice philosophy. Teaching has always been my top priority and passion – I cannot imagine any better life for myself than being able to discuss interesting and important questions with others. I live with my spouse, my two daughters, and our dog, Watson, in the Hudson Valley.
