My name is Carl J. LaMark. I am a recent college graduate looking to help in any way possible the social, economic, and, especially, ecological context of our lives. While in college, I was the research assistant for the head of the philosophy department for nearly four years. Also during that period, I published a large number of articles for both the college's official publications as well as theater and film reviews for various blogs, zines, etc. That being said, my research skills are as extensive as they are precise. My efforts as a research assistant lead to the addition of two new majors: one in social justice and one in legal studies. I also studied philosophy and English literature abroad in Athens Greece and Oxford University (Magdalen College). I published well over a hundred of reviews for collegiate publications. I would love the chance to put my talents at your service.
I hope this message finds you well.
All the best,
Carl J. LaMark
