TEACHING

In teaching, my goal is to help my students to learn not just about philosophy, but rather how to do philosophy. My students learn to read and interpret philosophical texts, to reconstruct and evaluate philosophical arguments, and to write and speak critically and clearly about philosophical ideas.

At Texas State, I’ve taught the following courses:

I taught the following courses as a Visiting Lecturer at UCLA:

At Princeton, I served as an assistant in instruction for a number of introductory and upper level philosophy courses:

I was also a Graduate Fellow at the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, where I planned and ran annual orientations for new graduate student teachers in philosophy; conducted teaching observations and consultations; and contributed to McGraw Center programming on pedagogy.

Over the summer of 2013, I co-taught Phi 102: Introduction to Philosophy, an introductory undergraduate course providing students with a historical overview of Western philosophy ranging from ancient to contemporary readings.
