teaching

I teach courses in the history of political thought, critical theory, democratic theory, social theory, and ethics. My teaching interests also include political theology, social psychology, political epistemology, phenomenology, environmental theory, and existentialism.

I have taught a wide range of lecture courses, undergraduate and graduate classes in political theory, philosophy, comparative politics, and psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Yale University, Freie Universität Berlin, and Summer Schools.
