Anna Söderquist earned her Ph.D. and Master’s Degree in Philosophy from The New School in New York, and has been with DIS since 2015 as faculty member. She has been teaching and researching in the field of philosophy for over ten years, with a focus on the connections between philosophy, art, literature, and education. Anna’s interest in education has led her to work with students from diverse populations and various age groups in France, Denmark, and the U.S., always with a focus on experiential, site-specific learning, active student engagement, and student-centered teaching.
Anna reflected on her new position on the team:
“With my background in the philosophy of education, I am thrilled to be part of an institution that puts the love of learning at the center of everything. Continuing to teach philosophy and help my colleagues in the humanities reach their pedagogical goals is a great honor, affording me a chance each day to remember that everything we do centers around the student’s development and success.”
