Pat Delaney

Pat Delaney received her BA in biology from Trevecca Nazarene College before pursuing graduate studies in philosophy at the University of Cincinnati. After the birth of her daughter she turned her attention to child development and pursued a teaching career in Manhattan Beach, California. Her lifelong interest in philosophy brought her to Claremont School of Theology summer institutes and the 2015 conference, Seizing the Alternative to an Ecological Civilization. Her emerging interest in the young child resulted in opportunities to offer seminars and collaborate with teachers at the Whitehead Kindergarten outside of Beijing, China. Pat was first drawn to process thought as a way to explain the problem of consciousness as well as the mystery and variety of subjective feelings—complex far beyond what survival would seem to require.
