I have taught introductory courses in political theory, modern European thought, Continental political thought, environmental political theory, and in the modern history of republicanism. In addition to these general courses, I am interested in teaching more specialized classes on the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, the political history of the emotions, early modern humanism, theories of freedom, and conceptions of property.
