Public Philosophy
Penn Public Philosophy Book Club (created by Jesse Hamilton):
I served as a weekly discussion leader for this reading group which was open to the public. In the first session, we read Ben Bramble's Pandemic Ethics, which ran for six weeks. In the second session we read Kwame Anthony Appiah's The Lies That Bind for another six weeks.

Penn Philosophy for the Young:
In 2019, I became involved with the robust public philosophy community here at Penn. The first project that I volunteered for was part of our community outreach program with West Philadelphia schools, where we would run after school philosophy clubs for grades 4-8 every week. The particular group that I volunteered for worked with 4th and 5th graders.
Another project which I have been involved with is the high school ethics bowl. I volunteered as a judge for the regional competition which was hosted here at Penn in 2019, and I plan to continue to volunteer as a judge for this year's iteration.
