I am Dr. Jeremy W. Skrzypek, and I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio. 

I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from Saint Louis University in 2016, my MA at the University of Saskatchewan in 2011, and my BA at the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2008. 

At Ohio Dominican, I regularly teach courses on the history of philosophy (ancient, medieval, modern), philosophy of the human person, metaphysics, philosophy of religion and philosophical theology, and business ethics. In the past I have also taught a survey course in ethics, and upper-level course on the philosophy of science, and introductory Latin (though, these days, I'm probably the one who needs the refresher in Latin).

My main areas of research are metaphysics and medieval philosophy. I wrote my dissertation on the Aristotelian theory of hylomorphism, according to which objects (and persons!) are best understood as composed or comprised of both matter and form, and I continue to think and write about how best to articulate and apply this theory.

In 2023, I received the American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly's Rising Scholar Award for my essay "Thomas Aquinas on Concrete Particulars". In 2024, I received a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend to help me complete my first book, A Dynamic Theory of Hylomorphism: Form as Activity, now published with Routledge.
