I regularly teach courses on computability and undecidability, speech act theory, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, pornography and silencing, the metaphysics of race and gender, and Aquinas. I have occasionally taught a somewhat idiosyncratic course on Descartes. I also teach survey courses on medieval philosophy, 20th century analytic philosophy, philosophy of logic, and philosophy of language. At the introductory level I teach our Sex, Love, and Death course as well as Logic I.
