George Erving

Professor Erving’s current research and teaching engage with the interdisciplinary field of consciousness studies, which draws from the disciplines of psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, religion, indigenous studies, and the arts to understand the origins and nature of subjective experience. 

He holds a Ph.D. in English Literature and is the author of scholarly essays published by Oxford, Blackwell, European Romantic Review, Frontiers in Psychology and other journals on the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, British Romantic period drama, mimetic theory, European intellectual history, and the emerging field of psychedelic studies. He teaches in each of these areas while also directing the university’s Honors Program.
