Hello! 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 our introductory course sequence in philosophy (PHL 109: Issues in Philosophy and PHL 206: Philosophy of the Person) and our interdisciplinary freshman seminar, "What Does it Mean to Be Human?". I also teach upper-division courses in business ethics, metaphysics, philosophical theology, and the history of philosophy.

In my research, I work mostly at the intersection of contemporary and medieval metaphysics. I wrote my dissertation on the Aristotelian theory of hylomorphism, according to which objects (and persons!) are best understood as 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 Association's Rising Scholar Award, and, in 2024, I received a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend to support work on my in-progress monograph: Form as Activity: Hyloenergeism.
