I am deeply committed to the idea that teaching and scholarship productively inform one another. My teaching is driven by my interdisciplinary approach—I aim to give students the skills to understand how primary Jewish religious texts were read and received by their intended readers and to explore how those texts might inform their own understanding of contemporary ethical issues. Courses I’ve designed include “Morality and Its Critics,” “Jewish Feminist Ethics,” and “Religion in Feminist Philosophy.”

I have also developed a new pedagogical approach to teaching philosophical reading, using the Jewish study paired practice of havruta. An article describing this teaching method will appeared in the Wabash Center’s Journal on Teaching in Spring 2021.

I have taught in a variety of settings, including both philosophy and religious studies courses at Yale College, in philosophy of religion courses at Yale Divinity School, and courses in gender and Jewish studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 2019, I was honored with the Yale College Prize Teaching Fellowship, which is awarded each year to 10-15 graduate teachers from across the university who have demonstrated excellence in the classroom.
