Dr. Sun’s Philosophy Classroom

I created this channel as a teaching tool at the American University of Paris to share my teaching and, most importantly, to showcase my students’ class projects demonstrating how philosophy can alter our perspectives and illuminate new angles of understanding. This channel is and will be structured around projects, each comprising several episodes.
Project 1: Anatomy of Social Change
This is a class project of my Firstbridge Course at the American University of Paris in Spring semester 2024. Each student picks a social movement of his/her choice and presents an analysis using philosophical notions visited in class. These projects are supervised individually, recorded and edited by me.
