Hi, my name is Gaura Rader. Welcome to my introduction to philosophy website. The website is a bit of a work in progress. I have used it at times to house my course material for various courses. I’m transitioning it to function as an online course than anyone could take at their own pace, with all the necessary materials provided including readings, notes, and online lectures. Feel free to look around and email me, gaurarader at gmail dot com, if you have any questions.
Here’s a little about me:
I have an M.A. in philosophy from the University of Florida, and am currently teaching philosophy at Zane State College. I live in Athens Ohio with my wife and four year old daughter.
I am pursuing a doctorate in social psychology at Ohio University. My main areas of research are in moral psychology and moral philosophy.
When not doing philosophy I enjoy, reading (things other than philosophy), being outdoors , playing and occasionally watching basketball, exercising (hiking, strength training, yoga, running, and pretty much anything else), cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
I blog regularly at www.gaurarader.com.
