There is something inexplicably transformative about ethics education. Unassuming undergraduates change from mild-mannered, intellectually curious students to fiercely passionate, civically engaged leaders. Even brazen, know-it-all students can become refined, sharp-tongued social justice warriors. But, not all moral teaching is created equal. Often, the only formal ethics training on campus is in the classroom, where students may feel uncomfortable sharing their values when a grade is on the line. I aim to research where undergraduate students learn about and experiment with ethics outside the traditional classroom. In doing so, I seek to uncover ways universities can live up to their value-laden mission statements and mold students into good citizens.

As of August 2023, I am a Ph.D. student in the Philosophy and History of Education program at The Ohio State University. I am also a Graduate Research Associate for OSU's Center for Ethics and Human Values.
