Teaching
Please find here access to synopses of my courses and resources for my students.
My teaching emphasizes bridging cultural values, ecological knowledge, technological innovation and social critiques to ensure thoughtful innovation, design, and imagining towards sustainable solutions to the pressing problems of our time. This includes many components, but key is revisiting the traditional western philosophy canon to expand it so that it addresses the gender, class, economic, race, and environmental turns. As such, my courses provide a historical foundation of western philosophy while pairing classics with contemporary and critical thinkers that are often excluded in androcentric, anthropocentric and eurocentric treatments of western thought. Through my own schooling and teaching I continue to engage an ongoing dialogue with 'what counts' as knowledge, what should be included, and why. I invite your feedback and conversation.
