Adam Briggle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas. He is the author of A Field Philosopher’s Guide to Fracking (Liveright, 2015) and, with Robert Frodeman, Socrates Tenured: The Institutions of 21st Century Philosophy (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016).
Adam founded and led the Denton Drilling Awareness Group, which conducted the successful 2014 campaign to ban hydraulic fracturing in the city of Denton, Texas.
