TAing in Spring 2023: Introduction to Ethics 1100

I am a first-year Master's student, specializing in Aesthetics, 20th century continental philosophy, and ethics. I am most interested in virtue ethics, existentialism, philosophy of emotions, history of philosophy, and philosophy of art. I am also interested in philosophy of religion, philosophy of literature, fiction, and imagination, philosophy of psychology/mind, and Eastern philosophy. I plan on eventually earning a PhD and becoming a philosophy professor. I’m currently taking an Independent Study with Iskra Fileva, and I’m focusing on topics such as sacrilegious art, friendship, love, and intimacy, and the morality of certain art forms. When I am not studying, I enjoy backpacking, writing prose-style essays and poetry, running, roller skating, practicing yoga and meditation, taking care of my dog, and skiing.
