    My area of specialization is in political philosophy, and I am especially interested in problems of global justice, nationalism and human rights. Currently, I am thinking about a book-length project with the working title “Human Rights and Social Justice in a Diverse World”, and working on papers on toleration. At Penn, my teaching, which reflects these interests, includes courses on global justice, political philosophy (historical and contemporary), ethics, and specialized courses on topics such as distributive justice, multiculturalism and human rights. I have also taught courses in philosophy of law, biomedical ethics, and introduction to philosophy (freshman seminar).

    Research Interests: 

    Over the last several years, my work has focused on “thick” emotional attitudes such as love, resentment, hope, and gratitude.   I argue that these attitudes essentially incorporate both sub-rational and rational elements of human psychology, and thus have interesting and distinctive influences on rational deliberation and choice.

    Future projects include papers on the ethics of eating animals, conscientious objection in the provision of medical care, and what it means to relate to a person as a reasoner.
