  • Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy | Department of Philosophy | leland@plu.edu | 253-535-7396 | As a teacher of philosophy, I very much enjoy both 1) introducing new students to this exciting discipline and 2) teaching broadly across its many different subfields.

    interests beyond these areas.   As a scholar, I specialize in 18th and 19th century German philosophy, with a particular focus on the writings of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and, more specifically, his “theoretical” philosophy (i.e. his metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind). Most of my publications are in this area, and I continue to conduct research in it.
