Teaching

PEDAGOGY

As a philosopher trained in the genealogical method, I encourage my students to view philosophy as both a historical tradition and a reflexive mode for questioning deep-seated beliefs and values. I accordingly teach philosophical texts and arguments as situated attempts to articulate and resolve problems that remain pertinent today. My goal is to cultivate in students the capacity to reflect critically on self and world with resources from the philosophical past.

Here’s a list of classes that I’ve recently taught. Feel free to email me if you would like a syllabus for any of them:

– Critical Theory (PHIL 217), Lewis & Clark College – Fall ’23
