Other Activities

I was actively involved in the graduate community at St Andrews, helped with organizing several events, and served on different committees.

In 2008 I organized a Kant Reading Party and in 2009 a Kant and Reid Reading Party at the Burn House in Angus, Scotland. These events offered great opportunities for discussing philosophical texts and graduate student papers in a setting outside the ordinary classroom.
