Introductory Ancient Greek
Bilkent (2022-2023) | Syllabi

A year-long introduction to ancient Greek, starting at square one and ending with selected passages in the original. I teach ancient Greek with a handbook and the help of Memrise, an online vocabulary tool. My syllabus is built around Athenaze, but places a strong emphasis on offering students the tips, tricks and tools with which they can read authors in the original independently. 

Afterlives: Roman Law and Colonialism
Princeton (2021) | Syllabus

This upper-level seminar combined an introduction to Roman law with an examination of its afterlife in early modern colonial regimes. We looked at closely at the adoption of the Roman law of slavery in Dutch, French, Spanish, and Portugese colonial legislation (the latter with the inimitable Margarita Rosa), studied Louisiana case law, and investigated the role of Roman law in shoring up early modern systems of slavery. 

Research Lab: Sovereign Citizens
Groningen (2024)

A one-quarter deep-dive into legal research, structured around the topic of sovereign citizenhood. Where traditional law courses focus on memorization, this course asks students to think, write, and create. And create they do - writing wonderful papers on sovereign citizenship relations to, for example, the foundations of criminal law, cult-dynamics, Freetowns, and social contract theory.

Humanities Sequence
Bilkent (2022-2023) | Syllabi

A wonderful, year-long sequence on literature and philosophy, mandatory for all undergraduates at Bilkent University. The course covered Near Eastern, Greco-Roman, and European philosophy and literature from antiquity (Epic of Gilgamesh, Homer, Plato's Symposium) to the 20th and 21st century (Kafka, Le Guin, Tsing).
