Teaching
Accessibility and universal design are cornerstones of my pedagogy, and I work to make my classes pluralist in both letter and spirit. Among other teaching projects, I developed the first “Philosophy of Disability” (both in person and online) and “Social Epistemology” (under the listing “Ways of Knowing”) courses offered at UMass Lowell.
Here is a sample of some of the courses I’ve taught or will soon teach:
- Bioethics and Genetics Research (UMass Lowell)
- Philosophy of Disability (UMass Lowell)
- Honors Intro to Ethics (UMass Lowell)
- Ways of Knowing (Social Epistemology) (UMass Lowell)
- Utopia and Dystopia (UMass Lowell)
- Engineering Ethics (UMass Lowell)
- Ethical Issues in Technology (UMass Lowell)
- Existentialism and Phenomenology (UMass Lowell; Dillard University)
- Philosophy of Medicine & Health (Emory University)
- Bias, Perception, & Empathy (2x) (Emory University: team taught, interdisciplinary seminars)
