B. Scot Rousse My research is focused on existential phenomenology, especially Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. More broadly, I am animated by the perplexities of learning to be human in a technological age. In addition to being a visiting scholar in Philosophy here at Berkeley, I am Director of Research for Pluralistic Networks, Inc., an educational and professional development company based in Oakland, CA. I received my Ph.D. from Northwestern University and my B.A. here at Berkeley.
