I am currently teaching Collective Choice and Social Welfare at the University of Konstanz, a seminar exploring political philosophy and social choice theory using Amartya Sen’s classic text as a guide. I have previously taught seminars on epistemology, logic (both deductive and inductive), and decision theory at Konstanz, U.C. Irvine, and California State University, Long Beach. Online lecture videos for my undergraduate course on inductive reasoning, taught at UCI, are available here.
A statement of my teaching philosophy together with my student evaluations can be found here.
