Academic Stuff
Matt C. Keener
I have a longstanding passion for philosophy. I believe that the practice of philosophy has the potential to benefit people in many ways.
My graduate work in educational psychology began with a master's degree in counseling. My internships focused on issues related to substance abuse and domestic violence. My thesis focused on counseling polyamorous clients (A Phenomenology of Polyamorous Persons).
My doctoral training in educational psychology focused on the learning sciences. My primary areas of interest were cognition, metacognition, and the processes involved in reading and writing. My dissertation did not examine writing processes, however, cognition, metacognition, and reading were involved (Integration of Comprehension and Metacomprehension Using Narrative Texts).
