Research interest:

Professor Rodino F. Anderson's research in philosophy and education concentrates on the metaphysical and aesthetic dimensions of curriculum construction. His work is heavily influenced by German Romanticism and Idealism and extends to early American Pragmatism.  He is currently working on tracing the appropriation of myth and aesthetic narratives in the liberal arts-influenced high school "core" curriculum.
