He is interested in many areas of philosophy, rhetoric, and political theory, most having to do in some way or another with the nature of modernity. He regularly offers an upper-division introduction to modern and contemporary political philosophy, and often teaches advanced undergraduate seminars and courses in special topics. He has taught the upper-division Rhetoric requirement in Approaches and Paradigms in Modern Rhetorical Theory, and the lower-division requirements in Rhetorical Interpretation and Argument and Analysis.
