Brian Thomas Swimme
Brian Thomas Swimme received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oregon in 1978 for work in gravitational dynamics. He teaches in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. Brian brings the context of story to our understanding of the 14-billionyear trajectory of the universe. Such a story, he feels, will assist in the emergence of a flourishing Earth community.
Brian is the author of The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos and The Universe is a Green Dragon. He is co-author of several books, Manifesto for a Global Civilization with Matthew Fox, The Universe Story with Thomas Berry, and The Journey of the Universe, with Mary Evelyn Tucker. Brian is also the creator of three educational video series: “Canticle to the Cosmos,” “Earth’s Imagination,” and “The Powers of the Universe.” Most recently, he hosted the 60 minute film “Journey of the Universe,” broadcast on PBS television stations nationwide and winner of the Northern California regional Emmy for Best Documentary in 2011.
