My teaching aims to equip students with the virtues needed for meaningful and democratic lives. As such, I emphasize curiosity, productive disagreement, exploration and experimentation with ideas, and responsibility for one's thinking in the classroom. To promote these goals, my classes put a great deal of effort into demonstrating the relevance of philosophical ideas to students' lives and to forming a healthy classroom community.
