One of my teaching interests includes a novel project of combing physical movement, performance, and the circus arts with philosophical study – a project started in 2017 with the creation of PHI 193: Circus and Philosophy.

Recently, a large gym space for this class has been funded for upgrades to accommodate multiple aerial apparatuses and circus equipment, allowing students greater room for movement and artistic exploration. This ‘Circus Lab’ is specifically intended to be the campus hub for interdisciplinary circus-centered education and research.
