Mr. Joseph Cunningham

Joseph Cunningham teaches Math and Religion. He is a graduate of St. John’s College in Annapolis, and its sister campus in Santa Fe. While there, he worked as a resident advisor for two years, as a librarian, and as an assistant in the College’s observatory and planetarium program, which instructs students on the geometry of outer space. He majored in both the history of math and science and philosophy, and minored in classics and comparative literature. He wrote his graduation thesis on Dante’s overcoming of the Dark Wood and his first steps through Hell in Dante’s Inferno. Joseph is passionate about making math accessible and empowering students to see its relevance in interpreting the world. Joseph resides on campus in Pettigrew Hall. He can be found exploring the history of the local area with his canine companion of the moment, as he often takes on dog-sitting duties, or exercising his passion for soccer and rowing on St. Margaret’s extensive sports grounds.
