TEACHING EXPERIENCE
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have six semesters' worth of experience as instructor of record at the University of Wisconsin and several more as teaching assistant there and elsewhere. I have taught virtual and in-person modalities, lecture and small-class formats. You can download sample syllabi here (Introduction to Philosophy), here (Introductory Ethics), and here (Contemporary Moral Issues). With a summer’s notice, I am also happy to teach (social) epistemology, (political) philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind.
THE INTERDISCIPLINARY CLASSROOM
THE INTERDISCIPLINARY CLASSROOM
In August of 2025, I joined a team of eighteen instructors from across the humanities and social sciences to co-teach Global Perspectives on Society: a highly international and interdisciplinary course, mandatory for all first-year students at NYU Shanghai. This has given me the opportunity to work closely with historians, comparatists, anthropologists, classicists, etc. in modes like peer-to-peer teaching observations and weekly pedagogical discussions. Thinking deliberately about what each of us can uniquely contribute to our shared classroom has taught me much about the challenges and potentials of an interdisciplinary academy writ large. It has also helped me understand that the dialogue with other humanities is an insufficiently tapped resource within mainstream philosophy—a resource that I am working to bring more into my research as well.
