Brian Elliott has taught college-level philosophy continuously since 1998, initially at the University of Edinburgh and University College Dublin, before moving to Oregon in 2008. He has held a full-time faculty position at Portland State University since 2010. Building on a foundation in modern and contemporary European thought in the phenomenological tradition, Dr. Elliott's research and publishing profile has branched out to encompass architecture and urbanism, literature and culture, and political theory. He is the author of numerous articles and seven monographs in these areas, including Benjamin for Architects (Routledge, 2011), Natural Catastrophe: Climate Change and Neoliberal Governance (Edinburgh University Press, 2016), and The Roots of Populism: Neoliberalism and Working-Class Lives (Manchester University Press, 2021). His latest book projects, scheduled for publication in 2025, are A Child’s Place in Nature: Toward a Pedagogy for the Anthropocene (Bloomsbury) and a new edition of Art and Its Significance (SUNY Press).
