Sullivan is the Wilsey Family college professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame and the director of the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study.

Sullivan works on questions about time and ethics and teaches Notre Dame’s very popular "God and the Good Life" course. In 2022, Penguin published a book based on the course, "The Good Life Method."

The First Mondays Speaker Series brings thinkers, writers, and cultural leaders to Dordt University to explore ideas that will stretch our imaginations, grow our understanding, and help us re-form our world in God-honoring ways.
