I am excited to announce that my latest paper, “Games in the Philosophy of Science Classroom,” was recently published in the journal Teaching Philosophy! This paper draws on my experience using the game Mastermind in my upper-level Morehouse Philosophy of Science classes and represents an excellent opportunity to bring two of my loves, philosophy and board games, into conversation with each other. I hope those that read it are inspired to think creatively about how they might use games to good effect in their own classes, no matter what they teach. Many thanks to all those who provided input on early drafts of the paper and especially to the audience of the 2025 Pacific APA Teaching Hub session where I presented an early version of this work!
