Department of PhilosophyI am a second-year Ph.D. student. I completed my undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College, where I studied both Philosophy and Government. I wrote my senior honors thesis on the ethics of violent political revolutions. Prior to starting my Ph.D., I worked at the Yale Program on Financial Stability. At Yale, I studied governments’ responses to financial crises. These included changes to deposit-insurance systems, market-support programs, and liquidity reserve requirements.

Research Interests
My research interests primarily lie in political philosophy, ethics, and metaethics. In political philosophy, I am interested in global justice, political authority, and debates about ideal/non-ideal theory. In ethics, I am interested in the ethics of self-defense and our duties to future people. I also like to think about relational accounts of morality and consequentialism. In metaethics, I am interested in non-naturalism and moral disagreement.
