Teaching Philosophy

Greg loves the learning process and hopes that all of his students will become autodidactic in some manner by the end of his class. He strives to help his students become succinct, clear writers, unafraid to question and engage sensitive topics. As a student of philosophy, law, and international studies, Greg advocates for using hypothetical examples in a multicultural sphere and believes that all issues should be analyzed for the long and short-term impact on domestic and international players.
