Research Area
My main research areas are philosophy of science, metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and the mediaeval period, though I find that just about all philosophy is intensely interesting. In my teaching I like to emphasize the development of critical reasoning skills and a close engagement with primary source texts. If you enjoy discussing deep questions like the reality of God and the nature of morality (or even if you loathe it but rightly recognize that it’s really, really important) then you’ll want to take philosophy.
