Profile

I like to teach single author courses and theme-based courses with a historical approach drawing from the classical Western tradition but paying attention as well to non-Western thought and feminist critiques. I have taught courses in phenomenology, hermeneutics, and deconstruction. Among single authors I have taught are Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, Merleau-Ponty, Nietzsche, Foucault, Spinoza, and Kant. I have taught theme-based courses with a historical approach on topics such as truth, time, space, experience and nature, soul and body, theory of ethics, and the human place in the cosmos. I also have taught introductory level critical thinking courses on a regular basis as well as Ancient and Modern philosophy.
