Outreach and Service
Minorities and Philosophy

In 2018, I founded the Minorities and Philosophy chapter at UNC Chapel Hill.

In 2019, we hosted a 2.5-day Compass Workshop for Underrepresented Groups in Philosophy, for which we invited 12 undergraduate and terminal M.A. students considering applying to a Ph.D. program in philosophy.
Outreach and Public Philosophy
-
Between 2019 and 2021, I led philosophy discussion groups in a local elementary school, high school, and retirement community on a broad range of topics, such as love and friendship, personal identity, conspiracy theories, and our moral duties to reduce carbon footprints.
-
In the academic year 2019-2020, I was selected as a Maynard Adams Fellow for the Public Humanities and discussed the value of the humanities in public education with a cohort of graduate students from different departments.
-
While the project had to be suspended due to the COVID-19 outbreak, another fellow and I also successfully launched an outreach project, in which we collaborated with a local middle school and an arts educator to host a series of workshops on the expression of personal narratives through spoken word.

In 2020-2021, I completed both stages of specialized training, run by the Philosophy Foundation, to facilitate philosophical inquiries with children and young adults.
