Last spring he offered a CTE (Center for Teaching Excellence) lecture on baseball and the ethics of steroid use. His next CTE lecture is entitled “Writing to Sell,” which will explain the current state of the publishing industry and how writers can sell their work to magazines, newspapers, and book publishers.

In the spring of 2010 he is teaching a new course, “The Philosophy of Sport” (PHL-291). The course will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am. The course shows how all the traditional branches of philosophy (ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, logic, political philosophy and aesthetics) apply to sport.
