Teaching
I've been quite fortunate to teach at great places. The first place I taught was at Queens College, CUNY, which incidentally is where I first began my undergrad before transferring to Hunter College, CUNY. The first class I taught was an upper-level class on Plato's Laws. I've become a better teacher since then.
I've also taught for the CUNY Pipeline Summer Institute. The Pipeline Program is set up to help CUNY students from underrepresented groups apply and succeed in graduate school. The driving motivation of the program is to diversify the professoriate. I taught a six-week summer class titled "Grad School 101" in which we read Jennifer Morton's Moving Up Without Losing Your Way: The Ethical Costs of Upward Mobility and Anthony Abraham Jack's The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges are Failing Disadvantaged Students.
The most recent place I've taught is Deep Springs College in California. I taught a class on Pleonexia in Plato's Republic. I also taught PubSpeak (required public speaking) and ran an independent study on the stoics. I really enjoyed my time at Deep Springs and I'm especially happy to have met the students and "staffulty" who help the place run. It's a strange place that I'll be thinking about for a long time. If you don't already know what it is, I suggest you watch this video here.
