Eric Karahalis

Eric Karahalis Ed.D. has spent twenty-four years as a theology teacher at a Catholic High School and an adjunct assistant professor of Philosophy at Molloy University, Suffolk County Community College, and most recently, Farmingdale State College. Eric has recently focused his attention exclusively on the college level, social research, and academic scholarship. Eric is a critical social philosopher engaged in the work of challenging traditional structures of education, epistemology and power. His doctoral research explored experiential learning as an educational modality bridging the synthetic mind/body divide and promoting wholeness. Eric utilizes postformalism as a theoretical framework and methodology to transcend the limits of traditional qualitative inquiry, cultivating a deeper, more expansive, complex, transdisciplinary lens. Eric’s research is rooted in a commitment to bridge theory and practice, thinking and doing, and the mind with the body as he grows from practitioner to practitioner-researcher.
