Don's main interest is American Pragmatism, especially in its connections to Continental Philosophy. He has published articles on the Pragmatists and Socrates, James and Hegel, Dewey and Derrida, and Rorty and Heidegger. Don's current research involves a book length study of Dewey's early Hegelian philosophy. Some recent courses include American Philosophy, William James, French Aesthetics, and Philosophy and the Irrational. Don recently received a Fulbright scholarship (in the Slovak Republic) for a project that compares American and Central European thought.
