Author: Keith "Maggie" Brown
I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers' periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.

The evening welcomes a co-revelation of dancers thinking, philosophers moving, and audiences emerging.
