I really like bringing philosophy and aspects of my work to the public. Below are some of my attempts. If you’d be interested in an interview or public talk on philosophy in general or any area of my research or teaching, feel free to email me!

Features

Here’s an article written about my efforts in challenging my students to translate classroom knowledge into real world action.

Back in 2018 I did an interview with KNVC radio on the nature of ethics and how philosophical thinking can help.

More recently, I was interviewed about my course on Philosophy and Superheroes, as part of an article on Aquaman.

And here’s a short interview about accountability, one of UAB’s shared values.

Opinion Pieces

I wrote an open letter to undergraduates at UAB pushing back against the narrative that the point of a college degree is to get a job.

My local paper raised a query about the way Alabama treats its prisoners, and I wrote in to correct their implicit notion that only the clergy can give any meaningful moral guidance on the question.
