Teaching Interests

I am just as passionate about teaching as I am about writing. My main teaching interests are in political theory, ethics of technology, legal philosophy, ancient philosophy (Greek and Chinese), and feminist philosophy.  


At UC Berkeley, I served as a graduate assistant instructor in seven philosophy courses, two legal studies courses, and one social theory course. I also taught legal writing to law students and served as a principal instructor for courses in classical guitar performance five times. A list of these courses is below. 


At Berkeley, I also established two long-term graduate student reading groups at the law school. The first, which I led for six consecutive semesters, is on law and philosophy and draws students from Philosophy, Law, Political Science, and Public Policy. The second, which I led for its inaugural term is on Chinese philosophy and draws students from Philosophy, Classics, and East Asian Languages.


In a previous life, as a teen and before coming to the United States, I taught computer science at a private college in Tehran.
