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 aim to foster in students the motivation to do philosophy for its own sake. To do this, I put a great deal of effort into demonstrating the relevance of philosophical ideas to students' lives and to forming a community in the classroom.
I have taught, in some capacity, the following courses:
