Teaching
I teach in the Philosophy and Humanities programs at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. My courses range across applied ethics, epistemology, the philosophy of technology, and questions of meaning and value.
Current Courses
AI, Algorithms, and Truth (PHILOS 113) — An epistemology course I designed exploring information literacy, the logic of algorithmic systems, and the philosophical challenges posed by artificial intelligence. The course addresses questions about knowledge, truth, and epistemic responsibility in an age of machine-generated information.
Business Ethics (PHILOS 227) — An examination of ethical theory as applied to business practice, covering topics including corporate responsibility, whistleblowing, justice in the workplace, and the ethics of markets.
Contemporary Ethical Issues (PHILOS 102) — An applied ethics course examining the theoretical frameworks and pressing moral questions raised by contemporary social, technological, and political life.
Contemporary Philosophy (PHILOS 324) — A survey of major movements and figures in twentieth and twenty-first century philosophy, spanning both analytic and continental traditions.
Environmental Ethics (PHILOS 220) — An exploration of our moral obligations to the natural world, examining both theoretical frameworks and pressing contemporary issues.
First Year Seminar: Philosophy for Living (PHILOS 198) — An introduction to university life and interdisciplinary thinking through the lens of philosophy. Students engage questions about freedom, authenticity, and meaningful living as a framework for navigating their college experience.
Introduction to Philosophy (PHILOS 101) — A survey of central problems and methods in philosophy, including questions about knowledge, reality, mind, and value.
Topics in Philosophy: Death and Meaning (PHILOS 403) — An upper-level seminar examining philosophical accounts of death, mortality, and the conditions that make human lives meaningful. Draws on analytic and existentialist traditions.
Philosophers’ Café
A public humanities series I organize and moderate at the Mauthe Center for Civic Life, supported by a grant from the Wisconsin Center for Civic Discourse. The Café brings together guests from academic, legal, civic, and community contexts to engage philosophical questions in an open forum. Events are free and open to the broader community as well as enrolled students.
Student Work
My students in Business Ethics maintain a blog exploring ethical issues in business and society. You can find their work here.
