My favorite classes to teach are those in which I learn.
Philosophy courses:
“From Socrates to Aquinas” (every semester)
“Bootcamp in Aristotle” (every other Fall)
Humanomics courses:
“Trust in Troubling Times” with Jan Osborn, professor in english
“Shame: The Civilizing Emotion” with Erin Crockett, professor in economics
“What is Progress?” with Erik Kimbrough, professor in economics, and Dillon Tauzin, professor in economics
New Freshman Seminar:
“Dangerous Ideas” is my newest course, co-taught with Erik Kimbrough. It is our attempt to stop the erosion of civil discourse by equiping students with skills in argument analysis and evidence evaluation. The course has been awarded Chapman’s Pedagogical Innovation Grant.
Learning should be lifelong and fun. I do it all the time and so should you.
