Teaching
My students learn to do philosophy as an activity rather than to receive it as a body of doctrine. For example, my phenomenology course runs as a writing workshop: each week students select an experience, apply phenomenological method to it, and present the result to the class for exploration and revision.
My teaching specializes in Phenomenology and 19th and 20th Century European Philosophy. I also teach Bioethics, Feminist Philosophy, and the history of philosophy.
Because the skills philosophy asks for are unfamiliar to most students, I build courses that explain, model, exercise, and then assess each of them in turn.
