Academic Bio
I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Corcoran Department of Philosophy at the University of Virginia. I work primarily in normative ethics, practical ethics, moral psychology, and social philosophy.
Before arriving at UVA, I was an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Virginia Tech. While at VT, I had the pleasure of directing the department's incredible MA program. In 2022, I received an Excellence in Advising Award and was selected as the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences' Outstanding Faculty Mentor of the Year. This year, I'm a Mead Honored Professor. In that role, I'll be running a fellowship program for undergrads focused on the question of what makes for a meaningful life.
