About
Justin is pursuing a PhD in Classical Studies and an M.A. in Philosophy at the University of Michigan. He works on topics at the intersection of philosophy and Greco-Roman religion. In particular, he is interested in how various philosophical authors made sense of traditional religious practices and narratives. His dissertation, Plato and Aristotle on the Efficacy of Religious Practice, focuses on why Plato and Aristotle advocate for the participation of traditional religious practice. It demonstrates that, despite these philosophers’ unconventional theological views, religious practice plays an important role in their philosophical systems.
Justin is a Graduate Student Instructional Consultant at the Center for Research of Learning and Teaching (CRLT) and is involved in the study and practice of teaching accross disciplines.
