Over the past three years, I have taught grad students at a PhD program, community college students, and undergraduates at a historically female university in the United Arab Emirates.
I want my students to come out of a philosophy class with intellectual virtue--and, especially ethics classes, moral virtue.
But hey, it turns out becoming virtuous is hard. I try to make it easier by practicing radical hospitality towards my students--barbecues, lunches, etc.--and by structuring class so that they can dig in and get their hands dirty actually practicing intellectual virtues rather than just hearing about them.
I want to help students develop the theological virtues, as well. I have spent a lot of time serving in various student ministries--College Life and Lighthouse, in Davis, CA--and look forward to much more of that in the future.
Here I am on the College Life podcast.
Here I am as the speaker at the high school retreat for First Baptist-Davis:

Below are pictures of some different barbecues I've put on for my classes.
