I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Washington and Lee University. During the 2024-2025 academic year, I am living in Durham, NC as a Fellow at the National Humanities Center. My research is in ethics, social philosophy, philosophy of action, and aesthetics. I came to W&L via the University of Michigan (where I received my PhD in 2022) and Wellesley College (where I received my BA in 2017). I was born and raised in Vancouver, BC.
My research explores the value of integrity. In my dissertation, I explored various ways that agents who fail live up to the requirements of their commitments experience inner conflicts that hinder their capacity for self-governance. I am also currently working on a series of papers on the ethics of reporting wrongdoing, and many of my side projects are in aesthetics. You can read more about my ongoing research projects here. At W&L, I teach classes in ethics, aesthetics, philosophy of race, logic, and decision theory. I can be reached at [email protected]. I use she/her/hers pronouns. Last updated: September 2024 |
