Teaching

I have extensive teaching experience at the University of Arizona and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, including courses whose syllabus and course materials I developed myself, and where I have served as the primary instructor. My students have ranged from first-year undergraduates in general education courses to junior doctoral students in the humanities who took courses offered through the Rogers College of Law’s Master of Legal Studies program. Philosophy instruction at every level treats persuasive writing as a central skill, much as legal education does. A good part of my course design has accordingly gone toward helping students learn to construct and present arguments in writing, which is iterative work: students draft, get detailed comments, and revise.

I am also accustomed to working with large numbers of students, having done so consistently across courses of twenty to ninety students per term throughout the twelve regular semesters (and several summer and winter terms) where I have served as an instructor at Arizona and Milwaukee.
