Cathy lives and learns in Brooklyn and taught philosophy at SUNY SB until she decided to practice what she preached about the relationship between embodied cognition and aesthetic education (also see Heidegger here) and start over as an aspiring designer under the name Kids In Love Collective.
Kids In Love grew out of a desire to organically marry an avant-garde graphic sensibility with organic craft techniques. It’s rooted in my practice of art and music, commitment to the DIY community, and respect for traditional craft knowledge. You can see more academic work here.
Brooklyn’s Textile Arts Center is where a lot of my new education comes from. Please support TAC, it’s such a great place and the people are all so talented. I also sometimes write for Tom Tom Magazine, a print publication devoted to lady drummers and play guitar and sing in The Missionaries. You can find me dyeing, guitar playing or baking sweet treats!

PHILOSOPHY 100.02 course website: This course is an introduction to the study of philosophy. The main emphasis is on the development of knowledge of the history of Western philosophy but we will also be interested in considering the ways in which philosophy offers us answers to a diverse range of questions in our contemporary lives. The course is divided into two major parts, the first political/historical and the second topical/aesthetic. The focus is to learn (1) the methodology of philosophy – what is philosophy, how it is different to other kinds of thinking and (2) the goals of philosophy, what is it for and why it is relevant to many wide-ranging issues of our time such as civil rights, animal rights, environmental issues, bioethics, business ethics, feminism, art and popular culture.
