As a postdoctoral researcher at Bielefeld University, I am responsible for developing and running two courses per semester. Here are the courses I have taught at Bielefeld University:
2024 - Theories of Well-Being
2024 - Ethics of Letting Live and Letting Die
2023/24 - Introduction to Moral Responsibility
2023/24 - Effective Altruism, Environment, and the Future
Throughout my doctoral studies at the LSE Philosophy Department, I have worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA). GTAs are fully responsible for leading weekly undergraduate classes, and for marking formative and summative work. I take my professional development as a teacher seriously and I consistently try to improve. To this end, I completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education course, gaining the Fellowship recognised by the UK Higher Education Academy. In 2021, I received the LSE Class Teacher Award, a departmental teaching prize.
I have worked as a GTA on the following courses:
2022-2023 – The Big Questions: An Introduction to Philosophy
This course aims to introduce students to philosophy by giving them an overview of the key problems that contemporary philosophy is concerned with. It includes topics in epistemology (Do I know anything?), philosophy of mind (What is consciousness?), metaphysics (Do I have free will?), and ethics (What is the right thing to do? How do I live a good life?).
2020-2021 – Philosophy, Morals and Politics
This is a course covering a broad range of topics in normative ethics, political philosophy, and metaethics. Among the topics in normative ethics are permissibility of self-defence, the non-identity problem, the trolley problem, and the demandingness of the obligation to promote the good. Topics in political philosophy include the justification of private property, taxation, and the obligation to obey the law. Topics in metaethics include the discussions of prominent views such as naturalism, non-naturalism, expressivism, and error-theory.
2019-2020 – Philosophy and Public Policy
This course focuses on helping students learn to use the theoretical tools from moral and political philosophy to critically evaluate public policies. Examples of the questions covered in the course: How should we measure well-being for policy purposes? Should biomedical research be funded privately? What population policies are acceptable? How should we distribute the burdens of military service?
2019-2020 – Philosophy of the Social Sciences
This course examines philosophical problems of social science concerning the nature of social facts and social scientific theory. It covers a range of topics such as whether there are social scientific laws, what the preferable level of explanation of social phenomena is, and what the ontological commitments of social scientists are.
