“I want to remain immersed in the fundamental questions that we study by teaching the core texts.”
POL 101, U.S. Constitution, Hillsdale College, Fall 2019.
After graduation, I hope to become a professor of political philosophy at a small university where I can have a large impact on the curriculum and teaching methods of the department. I want to remain immersed in the fundamental questions that we study by teaching the core texts, but also to have the opportunity to develop specialty courses that will allow me to examine those core questions in a wider range of texts.
