Teaching Faculty

Kulathur Rajasethupathy, Ph.D.
Professor and Director of MA Liberal Studies
Given its multidisciplinary nature, Liberal Studies has
no faculty who are exclusively assigned to its program. Rather, it draws
upon the best faculty from across the SUNY Brockport curriculum (and elsewhere)
to teach its required courses. Over the years, Liberal Studies instructors
have come from diverse programs such as African
and African-American Studies, Anthropology,
Biological Sciences, Computational
Science, Computer Science,
Earth Sciences, Education
and Human Development, English,
Foreign Languages and
Literatures, History,
Philosophy, Political
Science and International Studies, Psychology,
Theatre, and Women and Gender
Studies.
Some are Distinguished Teaching Professors, the highest academic rank
attainable at SUNY. Many are recipients of the Chancellor's Award for
Excellence in Teaching, a SUNY-wide recognition for outstanding instruction.
Others hold (or have held) high administrative positions in their disciplines,
including departmental chairperson, dean, director of the Honors Program,
and assistant vice president for academic affairs. All are experts in
their disciplines, yet truly capable of teaching from the multidisciplinary
perspective that is the hallmark of a graduate Liberal Studies education
at SUNY Brockport.
