Dr. Noel S. Adams Department of Philosophy
Dr. Noel Adams has been a member of the philosophy department at Marquette since the fall of 2002. He loves both conducting research in the philosophy of religion and teaching philosophy to students ranging from freshman undergraduates to PhD students. He thinks that "Introduction to Inquiry" is a very important class, and he considers it a privilege to be able to help new college students from all sorts of places. He remembers very well how hard his own transition was from high school to college, and wants to help students to be as successful as they can in their own ways.
Dr. Adams comes from International Falls, Minnesota, a remote place where it is cold most of the year. Perhaps his being raised there explains his passion for hockey in general but his love for the Philadelphia Flyers remains a mystery. He loves hanging out with his family, even though they do not like the Flyers. At home, he speaks only Danish to his children even though he is not of Danish descent. Luckily his family understands Danish. He promises to teach his "Introduction to Inquiry" class in English!
