Professor of philosophy, Dehiwala Polytechnic

🇱🇰 Dehiwala, Western, Sri Lanka
Dehiwala Polytechnic
Since 2005

I teach philosophy at Dehiwala Polytechnic since 2005, and supervised 50 dissertations along the way. I'm happiest when a student comes to office hours with a question that makes me rethink something I've said for years. I sing in a choir.

What gifts mean to Kumara: I'd put a gift toward a student bursary.
