Teaching

I teach philosophy at Phillips Andover, including introductory courses such as Ethics, Proof and Persuasion, Views of Human Nature, and higher-level philosophy courses like Ethics of Technology, Feminisms, Law and Morality, and Ethics and the Environment, the Ethics of Blame and Forgiveness.

I have a deep interest in the science of learning and pedagogy, and served as a co-lead for the APA Eastern’s Teaching Hub (2023). I run professional development programming both at Andover and in the service of the ethi{CS} project.

In November 2022, I gave a series of teaching workshops (“The Science of Learning”; “Equity-Oriented Teaching”) adapting general pedagogy practices to philosophy contexts to members of the Virginia Tech Philosophy Department.

I have organized a presentation on “The Hidden Curriculum” in philosophy (APA Eastern, January 2022), given presentations on “Difficult Conversations in the Classroom” for Andover Teaching Fellows (April 2022), and framed ethics pedagogy and ethics strategy in the series of workshops offered by the ethi{CS} project.

My current teaching project has been to rework Andover’s Introduction to Ethics course to include a wider array of philosophical traditions, by virtue of restructuring the design of the course to focus on ‘puzzles’ rather than ‘theories’. I presented my work at “Diversifying Philosophy 101: A Teaching Practicum” at Boston University (November 2023).
