Bio
Carlos Reyes (PhD, University of California, 2001) teaches writing, literature and visual culture (including comics and film). His current research and writing interests are focused on developing an embodied eudaemonic ethics contrapuntally composing strands of ethical investigation and experimentation from Buddhism, Spinoza, cognitive science and others.
My teaching interests include modern and contemporary literature, experimental writing, hybrid genres, visual culture (including comics and film), intermediality (the cross-fertilization of different media), philosophy (especially ethics), cognitive science and Buddhism.
My current research is focused on ethics and eudaimonia.
