Dr. Christie George is a philosopher of aesthetics and musicologist, holding a doctoral degree from Claremont Graduate University where her research focused on linguistic and philosophical implications that attend the notion of “Taste” as it is presented in 18th century philosophical and musical treatises. She has written and presented on topics including taste, the philosophy of art, German Idealism, the role of the self in contemporary worship music, and the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion at conferences in the U.S. and Europe. Since her initial dissertation, her research has expanded into the areas of phenomenology and theological aesthetics, with special focus in the shared work of Jean-Luc Marion and St. Augustine.

Here at Sterling, she teaches in the Honors Program (courses include Philosophy of Aesthetics & Philosophies of Art in Worship), serves as chair of the Music Department, and teaches a number of courses in the Music Department, including Music History I-II, upper division Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Applied Piano.
