Professional Bio
I'm interested in ethics and moral psychology, especially praise. I also have work on the history of Buddhist philosophy where I'm particularly interested in the work of Śāntideva and Dōgen. I have broad teaching interests, including American philosophy, moral emotions, and bioethics. Before academia, I come from the DIY punk rock music scene, which I occasionally write about.
