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’m also 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.

I’m currently Co-Chair of the Eastern APA Teaching Hubs for 2024 and 2025.

I was 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.
