D. in philosophy from the University of Navarre, Spain. Although she says she is not the best Catholic you can meet, she has been in Academy all of her life. Ms. Graham has taught multiple courses in Spain, Mexico, and in the United States covering philosophical subjects such as Symbolic Logic, Analytic Philosophy of Language, Education, Sociolinguistics, and World Religions; those subjects are tied into her research interest: The triad ‘Reality, Mind, and Language.’
