I'm committed to getting philosophy outside the academy, and I run public events using virtual reality, games, and debates to engage people with philosophical questions.
I'm currently writing a book and producing a collection of sources for the Megaric and Dialectical philosophers, followers of Socrates, who, I think, were a significant influence on Stoicism.
