Teaching

As fun as research may be, I'm deeply committed to my students. Still, it's great when they can go hand in hand. I proposed and designed a Philosophy and Sports course for CU Boulder, a course which even now that I've left CU sees significant demand every semester.

In addition to cultivating important philosophical skills, I try to make philosophy come alive and feel relevant to students, especially given that most of those I've taught thus far are non-majors taking these courses to fulfill some university requirement. In addition to academic philosophy articles, my students read newspaper and investigative journal articles – and watch the occasional documentary – both to better connect the material from the course to the world they inhabit and because social, political, and ethical investigations about our non-ideal world require actually engaging with it.
