Overview

I am an enthusiastic educator with a track record of teaching effectiveness. At Princeton, I designed and co-taught a new upper-level course on the ethics of technology, and served as a teaching assistant for two introductory courses in ethics. In my last two teaching semesters, I received the highest student evaluations in the philosophy department (4.83/5, both occasions) and won the Graduate School Teaching Award for “a significant and exceptional contribution to undergraduate teaching”, awarded annually to a handful of students from across all disciplines.

Here are my Teaching Statement and Student Evaluations.

My teaching, much like my research program, is marked by the desire to connect philosophical theory with issues of pressing public concern. To that end, I’m always keen to create new courses, such as Ethics of New Technologies, The Future of Work and the Promise of Universal Basic Income, or Epistemology in the Social World.
