I believe that students’ lives can be deeply enriched from developing their philosophical skills, and that it’s my job to not only demonstrate and teach those skills but also to cultivate a welcoming environment necessary for all students to play with new ideas and ways of thinking. As much of my teaching is in ethical and social/political philosophy, I put a special focus on engaging students with a wide range of viewpoints and topics, both for students to better understand the wide scope of philosophical thought and for students to better come to understand their own beliefs.
