Rocco Sacconaghi

​I am a philosopher with a focus on phenomenology and the philosophical implications of Catholic faith. I am from Italy, where I received my BA and MA at the State University of Milan, and my PhD at the University of Calabria, with a dissertation on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. Before joining the Department of Catholic Studies at DePaul University (Fall 2017), I had various teaching and research experiences in Europe, the USA, and Israel. During my PhD, I had an opportunity to study in Germany, at the Husserl Archives in Freiburg and Cologne. After graduating, I spent two years at Boston College, first as a post-doctoral fellow at the Lonergan Institute, and then as a lecturer in the Philosophy Department. Just prior to joining the DePaul faculty, I lived for three years in Jerusalem, teaching at the Studium Theologicum Jerosolymitanum.
