The Phenomenology & Experiential Education Lab
PEXE Lab is a phenomenology and experiential education lab — a working space for two questions: what is it to teach, and what is it to learn? "Experiential" is a word worth reclaiming. It's been thinned to a shorthand for field trips and hands-on activities; we think experience itself deserves more careful attention than that, and recovering what it can mean is part of the work. That recovery is phenomenological work — slow, careful, grounded in lived experience — and we're doing it in public, through essays, a podcast, and ongoing research. Come think alongside us.

Professor, West Chester University
His guiding question — what is it to teach? — leads into the lived experience of being a philosophical educator, advising doctoral students, and navigating the encounter with AI in higher education. His work draws on Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology.
EdD Candidate, West Chester University
His guiding question — what is it to learn? — grounds a dissertation on learning as dwelling, drawing on Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Casey, and Abram to argue that placed, embodied learning is ontological transformation.
