Teaching

My primary teaching responsibilities include courses in medieval philosophy and philosophy of religion, both of which I teach at the undergraduate and graduate level. I also regularly teach Introduction to Philosophy--a course that I both take seriously and enjoy a great deal. In recent years, in connection with my involvement with the Mellon Philosophy as a Way of life Network, I have begun to re-design my introductory courses around a more applied, immersive approach to traditional topics and assignments with the aim of inviting students to regard philosophy as relevant not only to "real life" but also to real life well-lived.

In addition to these teaching responsibilities I also (co-)organize a weekly (online) medieval Latin reading and research group for graduate students and faculty at SLU and other universities in the Saint Louis/Chicago region.
