Mark Webb's
Homepage
Or,
if you prefer, Mark Webb as Puck in A Midsummer
Night's Dream:
(That's Eva Dadlez of the University of Central Oklahoma, as
Oberon, on the right).
Or,
perhaps, Mark Webb posing with his patroness, the (ironically headless)
goddess Epistm, in Ephesus.
Professor Webb, the
chairman of the Philosophy Department, received both his B.A. in philosophy and
his two M.A. degrees, one in philosophy and the other in Classical Humanities,
from Texas Tech and
Ph.D. in Philosophy from Syracuse University
in 1991. In 2006, he earned a postgraduate certificate in Buddhist Studies from
Sunderland University. He
specializes in epistemology and philosophy of religion. He is currently working
on the epistemology of religious experience, especially in non-Western
religions. Mark Webb's CV
(in pdf) is
available online.
Professor Webb is also faculty advisor for the Double T fencing club,
Students for Global Connections,
The
Secular Student Society,
and
the
Intercultural
Dialogue Association.
