About
Michael Lo Piano, New Haven, CT
Michael's teaching and research focuses on understanding the structure and impact of humanities education from its Renaissance foundations to the present. He has designed and implemented interdisciplinary humanities course curricula focusing on Ethics, Moral Philosophy, Human Nature, and the commonalities of human experience in the world. His dissertation project, Virtue Signals, has centered on Renaissance humanist historiography in Poland and Ukraine as a genre of moral, behavioral, and decision-making instruction through narrative forms and seeks to recapture historical pedagogy as an avenue of offering practical benefit for thinking about the influence, consequences, and costs of human action in the contemporary world.
