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” course offered at Georgetown.
Here is a sample of some of the courses I’ve taught or will soon teach:
- Philosophy of Disability (Georgetown)
- Bioethics and Disability (Georgetown)
