At present, I teach undergraduate courses which range through several fields of anthropology: archaeology and material culture, socio-cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology. I also teach the anthropology of science, particularly The Anthropology of Outer Space. In my teaching, I draw upon the history and philosophy of science, and broader social theory.
