I have experience with many diverse modes of teaching, ranging from traditional philosophy courses to interdisciplinary seminars to collaborative teaching and curriculum development.

As a fellow in Stanford’s Program for Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE), I teach the small, discussion-based seminars that constitute Stanford’s first-year core curriculum: “Why College? Your Education and the Good Life” and “Citizenship in the 21st Century.” In the spring, I’ll be on the teaching team for “Environmental Sustainability,” one of the courses that satisfies the first-year “Global Perspectives” requirement. These courses are at once interdisciplinary and highly philosophical, exploring questions about the good life, the value of the liberal arts, and the obligations of citizenship in communities both local and global.

In my previous fellowship at Stanford, I worked with computer science professors and other fellows to develop ethics modules for computer science classes as part of the university’s innovative Embedded Ethics program. I designed (or substantially re-designed) and delivered lectures on such topics as value alignment in AI, toxicity in gaming, equity in hiring, and incommensurable values. (My lecture on AI value alignment now has thousands of views on Youtube as part of an online course through Stanford). I also contributed ethics material on bias in AI chatbots to the “Infinite Story” assignment for introductory students, which was accepted at SIGCSE 2025 as a “Nifty Assignment.”

At Pitt, I taught traditional philosophy courses, including courses on ethics, applied ethics, and political philosophy. For a full list of courses taught, please see my CV.
