Traversing philosophical puzzles since 2010

Overview

I have been teaching philosophy at universities in the United States for almost 15 years. I currently teach a wide range of ethics courses in at the University of Arizona. Some of them are large-lecture courses with high enrollments, and others are smaller seminars for students in the W.A. Franke Honors College. I have previously taught at The Ohio State University, the University of South Florida, and the University of Tennessee. My courses rarely require that students have prior exposure to philosophy, so I try to make philosophy as accessible to newcomers as possible in my courses. For an overview of how I approach teaching undergraduates, please read my Teaching Statement.

This page contains links to past course syllabi and schedules, student evaluations, several syllabus prototypes, and a list of student resources. The syllabus prototypes are descriptions of courses that I am prepared to teach but have been unable to offer in prior teaching positions. The student resources are designed to give students further insight into how to read and write philosophy. Fellow philosophy instructors should feel free to use any of these resources in their own courses.
