My teaching emphasizes collaborative learning through group deliberation, as well as the need to make philosophy accessible to students from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and learning needs. I do this by crafting more inclusive syllabi and consciously seeking to provide alternative ways by which students can demonstrate their proficiency of the course material.
I have designed and taught these courses as primary instructor:
- Digital Privacy and Ethics: An application of ethical and political perspectives to the issue of privacy, especially applied to recent and emerging digital technologies (seminar)
- Happiness in Ancient Greek Philosophy: A survey of Greek ethics for non-majors, with a focus on eudaimonism (lecture)
- Greek Philosophy: A survey of Greek metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, ethics, political philosophy for majors (lecture)
- Love in Moral Philosophy: A look at the debate about the problem partiality poses for ethical theories, for students who have taken the introductory ethics class (seminar)
I have taught these courses as Civil, Liberal & Global Education Fellow:
