Sean M. Avila Saiter, M.A., Ph.D. (Cand.)’s Summary

I believe in scholarship and deep inquiry. I engage in fundamental research in phenomenology, hermeneutics, social theory, humanistic-transpersonal theory, philosophy of the social sciences, integral theory, and qualitative research methods. I actively pursue publishing, teaching, research, and presentations in this vein. I consider myself a philosopher-psychologist who resides in the fertile yet sometimes ambiguous landscape of transdisciplinarity.
