About

D.E. Wittkower received a Ph.D in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University in 2006. His training concentrated on German philosophy and the history of value theory (ethics, aesthetics, social/political philosophy).  His research has concentrated on Philosophy of Technology and Applied Philosophy—exploring the intersection of New Media Theory, Political Philosophy, Ethics, and 19th and 20th century Continental and American philosophy. Prior to accepting the position of Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University, he taught at Coastal Carolina University, Sweet Briar College, Virginia Tech, University of Missouri - St. Louis, and University of Maine - Orono. He is Phi Beta Kappa, and was given the 2011 Award for Distinguished Teaching by the CCU College of Humanities and Fine Arts.

Current research concentrates on technology and community. Recent publications concern topics including Philip K. Dick, the phenomenology of audiobook listening, the role of the cute in digital culture, and copyright in e-business.

Current projects include #OccupyTheory, an online project leading to one or more edited volumes; an article on performance of self on social networks; and a book chapter on the phenomenology of cellphones and its relationship to the ongoing wave of pro-democracy movements in the US and abroad.
