TeachingMy true calling: the classroom

I have been teaching for over thirty years: from my first steps as a junior fellow at the University of Salamanca to the master’s programs in leadership and government at the Instituto Superior de Sociología, Economía y Política (Madrid). Other milestones along my scholarly journey include teaching Ethics, Philosophy and the Social Sciences. Today I still teach Ethics, as well as Argumentation, Christian Thought and the Critique of Contemporary Ideologies.

Now

Record

University courses

Twenty undergraduate and graduate courses at the Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes, the Pontifical University of Salamanca and the University of Salamanca. Each title links to its syllabus (in Spanish).

Experience

Senior Citizens’ University

Courses for the Senior Citizens’ University of the Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes, taught at its Medina del Campo and Medina de Rioseco centers (Valladolid). Bringing philosophy, theology and the history of mentalities to a mature, demanding audience has been one of the most fruitful training grounds of my career.
