Alma Espartinez serves as an Assistant Instructional Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Providence College, with her office located in St. Catherine of Siena Hall 113. Contact details include telephone (401) 865-2335 and email aesparti@providence.edu.
Her research critically examines the intersection of philosophy, educational technology, and Philippine societal contexts. Key focus areas include AI integration in higher education (particularly ChatGPT applications), design thinking pedagogy in philosophy instruction, and Karol Wojtyła's Catholic personalism regarding human participation and self-fulfillment. Methodologically, she employs narrative inquiry and Q-Methodology to explore student-teacher dynamics during technological transitions and pandemic disruptions.
Publication trends from 2014-2025 reveal three dominant threads: (1) Technological innovation in Philippine academia through AI tools, (2) Philosophical analysis of Wojtyła's works on marital ethics and human personhood, and (3) Pandemic-era sociological studies on faculty motherhood and community resilience. Her work consistently bridges theoretical philosophy with practical educational challenges in Global South contexts.
No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.
While specific advisees and grant funding remain unlisted, her extensive publication record on Philippine higher education systems suggests significant research engagement. The absence of explicit mentoring details likely reflects incomplete documentation rather than lack of activity, given her focus on educational methodology.
No dedicated laboratories or formal research teams are mentioned, though her narrative inquiry and Q-Methodology studies imply collaborative fieldwork with Philippine academic communities.
