Teaching Interests
I often teach courses in moral theory and applied ethics. But I also like teaching courses in philosophy of gender and philosophy of horror. For a comprehensive list of courses I've taught, see my CV.
Awards
In the Spring of 2021, I was the Arts and Sciences recipient of the Commerce Bank and W.T. Kemper Foundation Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award. I was also the Teaching and Learning Center's highlighted teacher of the month. A few years before that, I was one of K-State's “Professors of the Week.”
