Published: July 26, 2024

The Distinguished Teaching Award at UCLA celebrates exceptional teaching and commitment to student success. The Philosophy Department is delighted to share that doctoral student Kyle Scott is a recipient of the award for the 2023-24 academic year! 

Kyle, who began his doctoral work at UCLA in 2018 and started teaching in 2019, has trained fellow teaching assistants, taught an upper-division course on ethics and led another class on the philosophy of work. His dissertation focuses on alienated and unalienated labor, drawing perspectives from sources ranging from Aristotle to Marx.

Six senate faculty, three non-senate faculty, and five teaching assistants are selected from a highly competitive pool of nominees each year to receive the award. Kyle will be recognized along with the other honorees from across campus on October 11th at a ceremony hosted by the Academic Senate and the Teaching and Learning Center.
