Teaching


Hilma af Klint, Swan (1914-1915)

For almost two decades, teaching has held a central place in my professional life. Most recently I became a faculty member at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis & Psychology, where I teach a class on sexuality and gender with an emphasis on clinical work.

I also teach philosophy classes at Columbia and NYU, encompassing a wide range of texts—from Plato’s Republic, through medieval theology and early modern political philosophy, to Foucault and critical theory. Similar to my psychoanalytic instruction, I put special care into bringing the theoretical ideas to bear on my students’ lived experience.
