Teaching

Teaching is truly one of my favorite parts of the job. I love cultivating, if not a love of, at least an appreciation for philosophy in students from all kinds of backgrounds. I encourage students to engage with philosophy in creative ways, allowing flexibility in assignment structure and creating opportunities for students to get "out of classroom" experience during class time. Outside of the classroom, I pay special attention to the needs of my students. I dedicate time to reach out personally to students who are struggling or whose engagement in the course changes dramatically in order to ensure they have access to the support and resources they need in a timely manner. I am constantly learning about and experimenting with different approaches to teaching and strive to be adaptable to the needs of each particular group of students.
