Additional Sample Syllabi

​Introduction to Feminist Philosophy

• Sample Syllabus
• Description: What is gender-based oppression? What are its concrete manifestations? How can we resist it? This course is dedicated to investigating these three questions through a philosophical lens. We’ll start by getting clear on some core concepts: (trans)feminism, intersectionality, (gender-based) oppression, and gender. The rest of the course will be split into units centered around different domains in which gender-based oppression manifests: marriage and the family; bodies and space; sex; and knowledge and communication. Throughout each unit, we’ll discuss diverse forms of resistance to such oppression. 

Introduction to Political Economy

• Sample Syllabus
• Description: On one interpretation, political science is the study of how power is produced, distributed, used, and lost. Similarly, economics is traditionally understood as the study of how goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. Moral and political philosophy, at their core, study how we as individuals and as groups should organize and live our lives. Political economy is the integration of these three disciplines. In other words, political economists use tools from all three disciplines to both describe and evaluate interacting political and economic processes and institutions. This course is a theoretical and applied introduction to political economy in five main parts (described in more detail in the linked syllabus). 

Other Pedagogical Experience

Graduate Student Instructional Consultant (GSIC)
University of Michigan
Summer 2022-Spring 2023
As one of twenty-three GSICs employed by UM’s Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, I provided teaching support and facilitated classroom observations for graduate instructors across the university, and I participated in a GSIC learning community focused on pedagogical development. 

Graduate Student Philosophy Department Teaching Mentor (GSM)
University of Michigan
​Fall 2021-Spring 2022
​As one of two GSMs, I assisted with teaching orientations for new graduate student instructors; I observed them teach and gave feedback; and I had meetings with any instructors who requested teaching support. 

Teaching Assistant and Program Facilitator 
​Telluride Association Summer Program (TASP), Cornell University
Summer 2018
TASP is a free, six-week educational experience for high school juniors. TASPers participate in a rigorous daily seminar while also building a robust, democratic, self-governing community. I was one of two ‘factotums’ – i.e., a teaching assistant and overall program facilitator – at the Cornell University location. There, I was attached to the Cornell II seminar: Facing Fictions (taught by Blakey Vermeule and William Flesch).
