Paul Stonehouse is an Associate Professor of Parks & Recreation Management and Experiential & Outdoor Education at Western Carolina University. He gratefully teaches a mixture of classroom and field-based courses, ranging in content from environmental ethics to baking a rosemary focaccia on a backcountry stove. His research interests, adventures of a different sort, lie in the relationship of moral philosophy and theology to outdoor experience. With his students, he existentially searches for beauty, knowledge, and goodness, while exploring wild and liminal local places by foot, ski, bike and canoe.
