Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy places a strong emphasis on active learning and interdisciplinarity. I am interested in creating lasting learning experiences by allowing students to actively construct knowledge. In a philosophical context, this means that I do not just teach philosophy but facilitate students learning to do philosophy. In addition, I aim to make what I teach more relevant and applicable by facilitating connections to other fields of knowing.

The Palgrave Walter Benjamin Handbook, ed. Nathan Ross
Walter Benjamin is one of the most influential authors in contemporary humanities, exerting a deep fascination for students and garnering scholarly interest in a variety of fields, such as history of philosophy, literature, film and media studies, political science, religion, architecture, art and history. This Handbook provides students and scholars with a guide to Walter Benjamin’s work that explores each of these areas in depth while also giving the reader a chance to discover connections to other areas of thought.
In order to do justice to the complexity of Benjamin’s thinking, this volume includes international scholars from a variety of academic disciplines, and is organized such that a dialogue emerges between them. Each section presents an argument for the integration of its subject into the whole, demonstrating that what might seem specialized and esoteric actually intersects with the problems and questions of the other sections.
