At the University of Chicago, I was a lecturer in the Classics of Social and Political Thought sequence and received a Nef fellowship to teach a seminar on the Scottish Enlightenment and the division of labor.
As a preceptor in UChicago’s Democracy Initiative, I helped pilot several student writing programs, designed to place the University’s Core Curriculum in the Social Sciences in conversation with contemporary debates. I also worked with UChicago’s Metcalf internship program to co-supervise undergraduate interns at Tocqueville21, the public-facing site for The Tocqueville Review. You can find some of their blog posts and scholarly interviews collected here.
