TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
I am a passionate and experienced teacher. To date, I have taught 51 classes (45 in-person and 6 online) with full teaching responsibilities at 7 different institutions. This includes 6 academic years with a 3/3 course load. I have taught at large public land-grant research universities (Virginia Tech, UMass Amherst), at large public community colleges (Lone Star College System – North Harris and University Park Campuses), at small public universities (Radford University), at private religiously affiliated liberal arts universities (High Point University), and private liberal arts research universities (Wake Forest University). In this time, I have taught a variety of different lower division courses (Intro Philosophy, Intro Ethics, Intro Metaphysics and Epistemology, Logic) along with upper division courses (Medical Ethics, Business Ethics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Science, X-Phi, Moral Epistemology), to a variety of different student populations (including predominately first-generation college students where English is a second language). My teaching portfolio contains a summary of my teaching evaluations to date. My teaching statement contains examples of how I facilitate student learning in the classroom using inclusive pedagogy. I’d be especially excited to teach courses in my areas of specialty and additional applied ethics courses (e.g. Digital and Technology Ethics – draft syllabus available upon request). I am also very willing to cover further areas according to departmental teaching needs, having frequently done so in the past.
