History of Philosophy

I have taught courses on ancient and medieval philosophy, early modern philosophy, and existentialism. In the future I plan to teach courses on post-Kantian European philosophy (especially phenomenology and neo-Kantianism) and classical South and East Asian philosophy. I aim to make my students better readers and writers, and to this end I assign a series of skill-building papers focused on clear and concise exposition, dialectical evaluation, critical comparison and contrast, and research.

Logic

I have extensive experience teaching critical thinking and logic at both introductory and advanced (graduate) levels. My goal as a logic instructor is twofold. First, I aim to show the versatility of formal methods for thinking about such diverse topics as decision-making, distributive justice, voting systems, evolutionary biology, and more. Second, I present philosophical and mathematical logic as areas of philosophical interest in their own right through the study of non-classical logics and the foundations of mathematics.
