I’ve taught university philosophy since 1998, including courses in history of philosophy, ethics, government and politics, religion, and multidisciplinary topics. My Ph.D. in philosophy is from the University of Essex. My academic research in social and political philosophy is on applying normative and applied ethical issues to increase understanding of social injustices and the responses to them.
