teaching
My teaching involves courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and supervision of graduate, postdoctoral, and undergraduate research projects.
Courses that I regularly teach include “Power, Oppression, and Privilege,” “Gender and Race,” “Trust and Social Bonds,” and “The Ethics of Professional Relationships.”
Graduate supervision is a large and important part of my teaching. I have supervised a range of projects by Philosophy PhD and MA students, as shown in the lists below. I also regularly mentor postdoctoral and undergraduate researchers. For example, I am currently supervising Corinne Lajoie’s SSHRC postdoctoral project, “Taking Responsibility for Trustworthiness: Institutional Distrust, Disability, and Injustice,” and I recently had Olateju Obisesan, Sinéad Osivwemu, and Kharissa Edwards as Undergraduate Student Research Interns.
