Thomas J. Farrell's Encounter with Walter J. Ong's Thought: 1964-2023

Abstract

In my 4,150-word review essay "Thomas J. Farrell's Encounter with Walter J. Ong's Thought: 1964-2023," I first highlight the life and times of the American scholar and teacher Thomas J. Farrell (born in 1944; Ph.D. in education, Saint Louis University, 1972) of the University of Minnesota Duluth. Interspersed in this account, starting in 1964, I selectively highlight the life and work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University, the Jesuit university in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. In addition, I provide a bibliographic listing of my professional publications between 1974 and 2023.
