About Me

In a Nutshell: I’m Yousuf. I’m into teaching philosophy, doing photography, and engaging in community building. I also enjoy travelling and exploring new foods. My favourite food is sushi, which I enjoy making as well. My escape is gaming.

Previously: For the past 16 years, I was studying in Canada and doing academic work. While doing my graduate studies in the History & Philosophy of Science at the University of Western Ontario, I was also a Teaching Assistant for 7 years. I taught philosophy lessons to undergrads on Ethics & Applications, Sustainability, Law/Politics, and Introduction to Philosophy. I also enjoyed doing philosophy and science outreach for K-12 students in primary schools. This included providing physical demonstrations of blackholes and our solar system. As a graduate student, I was also elected and employed as the Vice President Advocacy for the Society of Graduate Students (Western University). In my tenure as VP Advocacy (2020-23), the Society represented around 7,000 graduate students across 60 plus departments.

And Now: I’m a Lecturer at the Aga Khan University – Faculty of Arts and Sciences (Karachi, Pakistan). This term, I will teach my designed course on Introduction to Philosophy of Mathematics. I’m super excited about it.
