My teaching aims to convince learners that they're already engaged in philosophical inquiry no matter their educational background. By honing the tools with which they inquire, I believe students can gain something unique from philosophy that will help them wherever they go.
Along these lines, I've designed & taught Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy of Sex & Gender, Basic Logic, Asian Philosophy, and Business Ethics courses. I recently received the 2024-5 Mezey Award for Excellence in Teaching at DePaul.

I research knowledge. Particularly, whether we have it.
As a Pyrrhonian skeptic, I'm unsure. I argue in normative epistemology why being unsure might help our ends. To this end, I've argued why inquiries need not be closed, and I've defended a reading of Deleuze as espousing a kind of zetetic epistemology in Southern Journal of Philosophy.
I also work on skepticism in the history of philosophy. I argued against the traditional claim that Aenesidemus was once an Academic skeptic in Ancient Philosophy, attempted to dissolve the traditional debate between the rustic & urbane interpretations of Pyrrhonism in Apeiron, and discussed the oft-neglected Maimonian quid facti skeptical challenge to Kant in Kant-Studien.
