Edmund “Ed” Dain, Ph.D., is the winner of the 2021-2022 Joseph R. Accinno Teaching Award — Providence College’s highest honor for excellence in undergraduate instruction. Get to know Dain, and it’s clear to see why students love his philosophy and Civ courses. To Dain, philosophy isn’t a subject — it’s a skill. You don’t learn about philosophy; you learn to philosophize.


Learn about Dain’s approach to training philosophers, his background before Providence College, how core courses are anything but a bore, and a little bit of Ludwig Wittgenstein in this week’s episode of the Providence College Podcast.
