Jennifer Waller

Reach out to me anytime with questions regarding the GTA and ISA programs, undergraduate petitions, financial and payroll issues, employment, general department operations, and the class schedule. I am also the right person to talk with about planning large department events and serve as the coordinator for the Chin-Plaisance Colloquia Series in Philosophy.

I've been with the Department of Philosophy at SF State for 14 years, 12 as staff. I transferred in from the College of San Mateo and completed my B.A. in philosophy with the department. I've so far completed all M.A. coursework with the exception of a thesis, which is currently in process and tentatively titled, "The Husserlian epoché as correlated with Siegel's notion of hijacked experience".

I was raised by a single parent, started working my first job at age 14 and have been independent since the age of 18. I've lived in the Bay Area my entire life, ranging between Palo Alto and San Francisco. I'm always happy to talk about my experiences living in the Bay Area, and/or as an older student re-entering academia post-kids, but I'm open to answering all kinds of questions. I stay current with the university resources available to our students, so if I don't know the answer, I can definitely point you in the right direction.

My on-campus days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I keep aside some time each day for listening, sharing, and helping others with questions, queries, or concerns. Feel free to book time with me!
