My main aim as a teacher is to help students evaluate claims critically, and to reach their own considered judgements on questions that are often politically charged. One practice I find especially useful, in my own work as much as in teaching, is to construct arguments as sets of premises that logically entail a conclusion. It’s a deceptively difficult exercise, but an excellent way to identify an argument’s core claims and points of weakness.

Course Spotlight
Philosophy of Work
This course explores how work should be organised in contemporary societies. We begin by asking what, if anything, is wrong with work as we know it, before turning to what good work looks like and how workplaces should be governed. We go on to examine the gendered division of labour, the distribution of socially necessary work, and the moral obligations we face in choosing a career. We close by asking whether developments in AI will transform the world of work for the better.
