Teaching

All of my courses and resources for my students are available at my teaching website, ivorytower.academy, behind passwords. If you are interested in seeing any of my courses, feel free to e-mail me for the password. In addition to teaching graduate seminars and undergraduate courses at USC, I have also developed a series of courses for graduate students about teaching philosophy, which I love to talk about if you are interested.

Beginning in spring 2024, my latest teaching project is to develop a new course on the philosophy of interpersonal conflict, Phil 270: Conceptual Foundations of Conflict. This is part of my larger project to contribute to the emergence of a developing field of the philosophy of conflict, which I believe deserves a central place in the field as a whole.

Teaching Videos

I got a slight head start making my own course videos to introduce key philosophy skills for my lecture classes at USC. You can follow my YouTube channel.

Lecture Slides

In my lecture courses I have become a big fan of using Prezi for its powerful resources for visual presentation of information, geographic navigation as a study aid, and seamless web integration.
