Associate Professor of Philosophy

I work on ethics, aesthetics, and agency. At the moment I am interested in various combinations of those issues, for instance the ways that our aesthetic powers contribute to human agency, the role of creativity in moral thought, the normative ground of duties of respect, and the ways that social and historical conditions shape the normative landscape.
