Lecturer
I teach courses in Ethics, Business Ethics, Critical Thinking, Chinese Philosophy, and the Philosophy of Language. I have also led sessions on ethics for entrepreneurs, at the California Program for Entrepreneurs (CAPE) and at the Santa Clara School of Engineering.
My publications include both academic and popular pieces on topics ranging from business ethics to theoretical ethics, language, and aesthetics. My work in business ethics focuses on the challenges of cross-cultural ethics and decision-making, especially for western firms and business people in China. My work in language focuses on how we use words such as 'good,' 'bad,' 'right,' 'wrong,' 'ought' and 'must,' in diverse contexts, languages, and cultures. My work in aesthetics focuses on how how human beings share experiences of art, wine, food, etc.
