Notre Dame Teaching
January 29, 2010
So this coming semester I will be teaching tutorials each week for an introduction to ethics course at The University of Notre Dame at Broadway. The work presents a unique opportunity. Since Notre Dame is a Catholic institution, all its students must take three compulsory subjects – introductions to philosophy, ethics and theology. It will be a terrific challenge to try and interest commerce, medicine, education and theology students in philosophy, and will hopefully help me sharpen my communication abilities. It will also be a great opportunity to engage in some dialogue about the intersection between Christianity and philosophy, since I assume many of my students will be Catholic…kinda.
It also represents a step forward in achieving my life-long ambition: to become Jed Bartlet.
