My teaching experience spans philosophy of religion, philosophy of science, and philosophical anthropology. Much of my teaching has focused on introducing students pursuing degrees outside philosophy—including psychology, engineering, and medicine—to foundational philosophical questions and traditions. I have taught at the University of Pittsburgh and Universidad de los Andes (Chile), both as an instructor of record and as a teaching assistant.

A note on Philosophical Anthropology

Philosophical anthropology is a well-established area of philosophical teaching in Chile and other Latin American countries, where it frequently forms part of the general education curriculum across university disciplines. Broadly understood as the philosophical study of human nature and the human condition, it brings together questions from metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and ethics. In the courses I taught at Universidad de los Andes, the emphasis was on the classical Aristotelian and Thomistic traditions, examining questions concerning life, human nature, embodiment, cognition, freedom, personhood, and the foundations of moral and social life.

Chilean academic calendar: Semester 1 begins in March; Semester 2 begins in late July.
