Looking forward to teaching our grad students on how to teach Less Commonly Taught (LCT) philosophies. This is part of their professional development--they also get instruction (from other professors) on how to include e.g., marginalized philosophers in your syllabus, grading etc
Things I'll be addressing
* How to teach LCT philosophies even if you are tired, have little time to do a lot of reading for your teaching, and find no good overview works (by directing them to some useful readers and guides)--teaching burnout is a real problem!

* How to teach LCT philosophies with institutional constraints. E.g., the SLU core requires that you teach in Intro Socratic dialogues, Aristotle, and figures from the Catholic tradition. But even there you can innovate (e.g., teach Juana Inés de la Cruz for Catholic tradition)
* How to have some gender balance in LCT-heavy courses (this is tricky bc so many of the authors of the primary texts that we're most familiar with are male e.g., Confucius, Ibn Sina, Nagasena)...
