Teaching

I have created and taught courses in

philosophy of mind (example of a syllabus),
philosophy of language (examples of syllabus and handouts),
aesthetics (example of a syllabus),
environmental philosophy (example of a syllabus)
and value theory.

As part of these, I have also given introductions on history of philosophy, logic, philosophy of science, and philosophical methodologies (e.g. how to write a philosophy essay). This is particularly true of my environmental philosophy course since it was designed for students that hadn't taken other philosophy classes, as they did a BA in sustainable sciences. By the way, I had very positive feedback on this course and plan to turn it into a book. It's called ‘Philosophical tools for a sustainable world’ and is about how philosophy may be useful to mitigate the ecological crisis. If you're interested, its syllabus also contains links to the slides I've used.

I highly value teaching not only for its own sake and for the great interactions I've had with students, but also because preparing courses has allowed me to deepen my knowledge of a host of topics That's partly why I'm motivated to teach beyond the branches I've taught or published in.

If you want to know more about my teaching experience, the methods I've used, and the feedback I got, here is a teaching statement.

Outreach

I've participated in many outreach activities, something which I love doing and highly value. You can find more of them in my CV. Here are four examples:

The Philosophy of Emotion Podcast

In this podcast, Ben Matheson and I interview philosophers of emotion on their work. Episodes are 20 to 30 minutes long and accessible to all kinds of audiences.

Listen to it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Substack.

Le robot conversationnel

In this 4-minute stop-motion video I created, I introduce the main idea of my PhD thesis.

It's in French but there are subtitles in English.

Cooloques, Pop Workshops

With some friends, we've organized interdisciplinary workshops for a general audience on the notions of YOLO, being a loser, chilling, and being cool.

With the contributions from these workshops, we've edited and published books on the last three subjects (a book on YOLO is also planned). You can find the texts in open access here. You can find some more information about the cooloques on this Facebook page.

Musical emotions across cultures

Here is a quiz displaying how emotions may be expressed differently in different musical cultures. I created it with Anna Aljanaki for a public event of the Swiss Center of Affective Sciences (Geneva).
