Lecturer, PhD in Philosophy, with 6+ years teaching experience at undergraduate, postgraduate and school level

My teaching is oriented constructively, i.e. I will encourage you to make use of what you already know to build your own connections to new concepts and theories. This approach has proven pedagogic benefits – those who are active participants in their own learning, learn the most. I will aim to help you develop an intellectual vigilance about your own ideas and those of others. This is especially important in close readings of texts (especially philosophical ones). Focussing on critical thinking, sensitivity to nuance and pre-empting possible objections will also help you improve your writing and argumentative skills.
