Biography
Thomas Nørgaard received his DPhil in Philosophy from Oxford in 2002 with a thesis on compassion. Before that he had been a student at the universities in Århus, St Andrews, Keele and Tübingen. From 2002 to 2013 he worked at the European College of Liberal Arts (ECLA) in Berlin. He shared the leadership of the institution with Dr Peter Hajnal from 2007 to 2012 and under their joint leadership - as Deans and Managing Directors - ECLA introduced its first BA programme and was recognised as a private university by Berlin's Senate Administration of Education, Science and Research. In 2013, Thomas spent a semester as Visiting Professor at the University of Warsaw (Faculty Artes Liberales) and in the first part of 2014 he was a Research Fellow at New York University's Remarque Institute.
Research Interest
Thomas' primary research focus at the moment is the idea of liberal education and especially the university as a possible seat of liberal education.
