Teaching

I am interested in developing engaging, creative, and effective pedagogical practices that are also informed by egalitarian and anti-authoritarian principles. Below I provide some of the materials that I use in my classes, a list of the courses I have taught, and the syllabi for those courses.

Resources

I sometimes have students write four-sentence papers. Here is my handout introducing this assignment. I have also experiemented with assessing this assignment using the levels system.

Here is my more general guide to writing critical philosophy papers.
