I'm Spencer Case, a freelance writer and teacher of philosophy . I completed my PhD in philosophy at the University Colorado, Boulder in 2018. After that, I was an international research fellow at Wuhan University in Wuhan, China, where I'm living today with my wife, May Han. I'm currently teaching online for CU Boulder and working on two books on philosophy, Is Morality Real?  (coauthored with Matt Lutz) and Why It's Ok to be Patriotic. I have contracts for both with Routledge. This site is where I'll keep links to my academic work and some of my public work as well. 
 
I'll just say a bit more about me here. I'm a veteran of the U.S. Army and I deployed twice as part of the Global War on Terrorism: to Iraq (2005-2006) and to Afghanistan (2009-10). I like writing, reading, podcasting, listening to jazz, and swing dancing. ​My main philosophical research area is the nature of normativity (i.e., "ought-ness"), but I've got interests in other areas, too. Really all aspects of philosophy interest me.  The photo up top is a stone corridor from Petra, Jordan that leads to the famous treasury.
