His thesis was supervised by Tanja Staehler and Paul Davies, and examined by Edward S. Casey (Stony Brook) and Celine Surpenant (University of Sussex). He has been a visiting scholar at Duquesne University, USA and a guest lecturer at the University of Montana, USA.

In addition to many articles, Trigg is the author of two books:
The Memory of Place: a Phenomenology of the Uncanny (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2012)
