Courses at Harvard

A much-revised version of a graduate seminar I taught previously. The latest iteration of the class can be found here. 
​

The Many and the Few

 A 100 level course (mixed graduate and underg​graduate) on partiality and impartiality. Syllabus here. I will likely teach this course regularly.
​

Consent

A graduate seminar on consent I taught AY 23-23. Syllabus here.
​

The Good, The Bad, and the Beau​tiful: The Ethics of Art

A freshman seminar (taught in Harvard Art Museum) exploring various issues in ethics, politics, and the arts. Syllabus here. I hope to teach this course again in the future.
​

Future Courses

In coming years, I hope to teach courses on autonomy, promise, reactive attitudes, and relational approaches to normative ethics. At some point (hopefully soon!), I'll develop a courses (probably two) in the history of ethical thought (ancient, medieval, and modern) that plays special attention to the role of love.
