My teaching aims to equip students with the virtues needed for healthy democratic life, including productive disagreement, exploration and experimentation with ideas, and responsibility for one's thinking. In order to do this, I make every effort to promote intrinsic motivation by fostering a community of engaged inquiry and demonstrating the relevance of philosophical topics and thinking to students in their non-academic lives.
I have taught, in some capacity, the following courses:
