For more on our teaching practices, see our description of departmental signature pedagogies. AOS or very strong AOC: Environmental Philosophy (very broadly construed—we are open to a wide diversity of approaches, and would be particularly interested in human/non-human relations; race, poverty and the environment; environmental humanities; environmental activism; ecofeminism and ecocriticism; and philosophy of nature). Teaching responsibility will include 6 classes per year, typically including 4 introductory level classes and 2 upper level classes (one or both within Environmental Philosophy), and will include some courses in Elon’s General Studies program.
