About Me

I have a broad and deep love of philosophy. Some of my particular passions are the history of philosophy (especially modern German philosophy), ethics, moral psychology, philosophy of emotion, aesthetics, and political philosophy. I enjoy having classes that are active, discussion-oriented, and in which students feel that the issues we are engaging with really matter.
