Teaching
I have taught and assisted in a wide range of undergraduate philosophy courses and currently teach graduate-level seminars on the ethical and societal implications of AI. My approach emphasizes interdisciplinary engagement, case-based learning, and reflection on our direct experiences with social and political dimensions of technology.
Current Teaching
- Graduate Seminar: Ethical & Societal Implications of AI – University of
Western Ontario
A seminar for philosophy, computer science, and engineering students exploring the ethics and social impacts of artificial intelligence. Combines weekly lectures with small-group discussions and project development for PhD students.
Teaching Approach
I focus my teaching on helping students critically engage with the ethical and epistemic challenges of contemporary technologies. I make frequent use of case studies to explore how technical details, institutional contexts, and social environments shape the ethical dimensions of technology. My methods combine philosophical analysis with empirical investigation, fostering skills that transfer to other areas of technological and ethical reflection.
I am also attentive to the role that tools, including large language models, play in shaping how students learn and interact with material. I design assignments and discussion formats that encourage critical thinking, clarity of communication, and reflection on technology as both a technical and social phenomenon.
Additional Experience
- Workshop development for academic and non-academic audiences on AI ethics and governance
- Guest presentations at industry and professional conferences, including the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology
- Curriculum design for interdisciplinary courses on technology and society (in progress, "Digital Influence and Propaganda" and "Philosophy and Content Moderation")
