Seminars in narrative ethics, moral inquiry, and mythopoeia.

Moral Imagination in Speculative Fiction

Examining works by Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Tolkien alongside hermeneutics and virtue ethics to build a vision for modern moral choices.

Narrative Ethics

& Modern Stories

Investigating redemption, sacrifice, and redemption arcs across complex modern narratives from serialized television to classic literature.

Collaborative reading and literary grace

My courses treat the seminar room not as a lecture hall, but as a shared space for inquiry. We ask difficult questions about duty, character, and meaning while cultivating a warm, conversational environment.

Whether analyzing Thomistic ethics or untangling the mythology of serialized storytelling, students are encouraged to bring their full intellectual curiosity and creative voice to every discussion.

Stop by during office hours

The tea is brewed, my cat is asleep on the desk (I wish), and the door is always open for a good conversation on ethics and stories.
