Darryl De Marzio '07
Darryl De Marzio begins the fall 2007 semester as Assistant Professor on the departments of Education and Philosophy at the University of Scranton. Darryl will teach the history and philosophy of education to undergraduate and graduate students and in-service and pre-service teachers. Currently, Darryl's primary research interest is the ethics of teaching, paying close attention to the ethical writings of Michel Foucault. His dissertation is entitled, "The Teacher as Ethical Subject: A Foucauldian Analysis of Plato's Alcibiades I and Montaigne's -'On Educating Children'". Other publications of Darryl's include, "the care of the Self: Alcibiades I, Socratic Teaching and Ethics Education," Journal of Education, Vol. 187 no. 3 (2006); and "Teaching as Asceticism: Transforming the Self Through the Practice," Philosophy of Education Society Yearbook (2007)
"The Program in Philosophy and Education at Teachers College is a remarkable place of learning. In a world that chooses to view education in terms of shallow problems and quick technical solutions, the students and faculty here seek instead to understand the common element in all educational phenomena- humanity. And for that, I will never fail to view education or humanity in the same way again. It is a community that promotes the quest for knowledge and respects the lifelong commitment to learning."
