Teaching

Since being part of the AAPT’s Teaching and Learning Seminar in July 2018, I’m striving to become a more learner-centered teacher. I’ve also written papers in the scholarship of teaching and learning, which you can find on my research page.

I’m deeply committed to making my classes as inclusive as possible. Part of this involves diversifying my syllabi. On the basis of my Bioethics syllabus, I’ve created a “Race, Disability, and Gender in Bioethics” Reading Group Blueprint for the Diversity Reading List.

Since 2023, I have been a member of the AAPT’s Awards Committee. I am also Co-Chair of the AAPT-PPE Teaching Hub for the 10th Annual Meeting of the PPE Society. I was Co-Chair of the Eastern APA Teaching Hubs for 2024 and 2025, as well as Co-Chair of the AAPT Biennial Conference 2022 Programming Committee.

In the 2018–2019 academic year, I was the UNC Philosophy Department’s Teaching Assistant Coordinator. Among other things, I organized a one-day AAPT Workshop in Chapel Hill.
