Christopher Higgins
Assistant Professor
My scholarly interests fall into two main areas: philosophy of teaching and the aims of education.

My book, The Good Life of Teaching: An Ethics of Professional Practice (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), offers a eudaimonistic conception of professional ethics, examining how work contributes to the practitioner's own quest to lead a rich, meaningful, or excellent life.more information...
