鈥淏eing able to study contemporary issues in philosophy and not just classical problems is important to me. I have written essays on topics such as global poverty, slavery, climate change, the philosophy of race, and intergenerational justice. The teaching style is geared towards encouraging us to learn how to think for ourselves, making us better philosophers.鈥�
