Philippe Foubert

I am a former university professor with an M.A. in Systematic Theology and a Ph.D. in Theological Ethics from the University of Notre Dame. My teaching, research, and consulting work has spanned world religions, political theory, theological ethics, business ethics, bioethics, clinical ethics consulting, and support for nonprofit organisations concerned with human rights and social justice.

My long-standing interests include world history, comparative literature, languages, public ethics, digital media, and the practical use of contemporary technology to make ideas work in the service of ethically worthwhile community projects.

I am a U.S. veteran, a technology aficionado, and a lifelong student of the sea. I have maintained a long interest in sailing and completed my 'Competent Crewman' Yachting Certificate at Southern Cross Sailing School through the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. I spent time working in Kodiak, Alaska as a fisherman for the New England Fish Company.

Politically independent, I maintain a strong interest in progressive public life and the human rights of Indigenous peoples around the world, with particular attention to First Nations peoples in Australia, where I have lived for the past thirty years.
