Georgios Petropoulos has many years of experience of facilitating and researching Communities of Philosophical Inquiry with diverse groups of people. His broader research interests include public philosophy, philosophy of education (with an emphasis on interactive and dialogic pedagogies), phenomenology (classical, applied, and critical), and ancient philosophy. Prior to joining the University of Galway, he was a lecturer at Newcastle University, a teaching fellow at University College Dublin, and a research fellow at the UCD Centre for Ethics in Public Life.
