Teaching

Accessibility and universal design are cornerstones of my pedagogy, and I work to make my classes pluralist in both letter and spirit. My teaching serves the needs of both the department of philosophy and the disability studies program. Here is a sample of some of the courses I have taught, currently teach, or will teach:

  • Topics in Philosophy of Disability
  • Bioethics and Disability
  • Postgenomics: Biopolitics, Biocapital, Bioinformation
  • Critical Phenomenology & Disability
  • Disability & Justice
  • Knowing Otherwise: The Limits of Social Epistemology
  • The Problem of Pain
  • Disability in 20th c. French Philosophy: Beauvoir, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, and Levinas
