Future Goals

Offer PHIL 2114 (Business Ethics in a Global Context)

Although I developed this course and had it approved, I have tried to offer this course twice but have not been able to get it to run. A major goal is to get this course up and running in the near future. Our hope is that it can eventually become part of one of the business degrees. 

Develop an interdisciplinary course in Environmental Philosophy

City Tech students needs more interdisciplinary courses, and we already have an Environmental Philosophy course on the books. I have spoken with Prof. Chris Blair (Biology) about co-teaching this course, and we are looking for an opportunity to put aside the time and energy to develop it. 

Develop an interdisciplinary course on Health and Race

Prof. Almond and I have talked about developing a co-taught course on health and race that could expose students to a variety of important concepts, philosophies, and data about the various intersections of these topics. I expect this would be an extremely popular class at City Tech, given the diverse make up of the student body and NYC in general. 

Implement more in-class activities into older courses

While my newer courses typically include a lot of in-class activities and exercises, courses that I developed early in my teaching career could use some revising. I am currently engaged in revisions anyways for the OER Fellowship, so this next semester is a good time to revisit some content decisions too. 

Teach at the Graduate Center

I have begun to explore opportunities to teach a Health Justice course at the Graduate Center. This topic is the subject of the book project in which I’m currently engaged, and I think I could be challenged in a significant way by preparing a course for graduate students on the topic. This could improve both my book and my teaching.
