TEACHING

As primary instructor or teaching assistant, I have taught courses on a wide range of topics in philosophy, including existentialism, history, art, feminism, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche.

I currently have an appointment as a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Columbia University. My responsibilities include instructing multiple sections of a course called “Contemporary Civilization” each semester. This course introduces undergraduates to social and political philosophy by providing them with an overview of major philosophical texts from antiquity to the present day. Authors assigned in the course include Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft, Marx, Du Bois, Arendt, and Foucault.

I have worked in writing labs providing one-on-one instruction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and I have received Master Level III certification as a writing tutor by the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA).
