Philip Kretsedemas Launches New Personal Blog Bridging Social Science Methods, Security Studies, and Care of the Self

Scholar, writer, and policy analyst Philip Kretsedemas is proud to announce the launch of his new personal blog, a space dedicated to charting new pathways in the philosophy of science and social science methodology that take an integrative approach toward matters of the heart and the mind. The blog will also use the concept of cultural security and the analysis of extreme violence (including but not limited to the problem of terrorism) to apply these philosophical and methodological meditations to the issues of the day.

With over two decades of experience in academia, nonprofit advocacy, and immigration research, Kretsedemas brings a unique, critical voice to national conversations on identity, governance, and justice. The blog aims to make his work more accessible to a broad public audience—offering sharp analysis, narrative storytelling, and reflections on complex legal and social questions through a human-centered lens.

In addition to original essays, the blog will feature commentary on emerging global crises, breakdowns in institutional trust, and the ethical tensions that underlie modern policy responses. Readers can expect thought-provoking takes on how law, race, migration, and violence are framed—and often misframed—in public discourse.

The blog will also serve as a space to experiment with new forms of public scholarship, blending academic theory with accessible commentary and timely critiques. Drawing on his interdisciplinary background, Kretsedemas hopes to invite readers into deeper reflection on how truth is constructed, contested, and lived in a rapidly shifting world.

“This blog is about building bridges between deep research and everyday understanding,” said Kretsedemas. “I want to offer insights that are rigorous but readable, and spark conversations that move beyond headlines and talking points.”
