My aim as a teacher is to use the history of philosophy to help students develop a more reflective approach toward themselves and the world around them. I believe that education is centrally concerned with the task of self-understanding, and in pursuit of this task I approach the philosophical canon as a dialogue through time that can be used to spur our own dialogue.
I have been a teaching instructor at Fordham University for more than four years. My teaching experience includes the following sections:
Philosophy of Human Nature (syllabus)
- Spring 2020 (hybrid model), Fall 2019, Fall 2018
- Eloquentia Perfecta sections (a writing and speaking intensive section): Fall 2023 (2x), Fall 2019, Spring 2019
