Stephen Block currently teaches media literacy and political philosophy at Vanier College where he also served as an executive in the local union. His formal training is in industrial relations, political philosophy and public affairs and he has been a lecturer in all three fields. His concern throughout his academic life has been to teach about the importance of developing a sense of fair play which critiques the norm of self interest. His teaching and writing focuses on a “disinterest” model that eschews the “libertarian” values too often promoted in popular culture. His mission is to challenge this new model of business-oriented public affairs that now infects nearly every public conversation.
