I work in the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of language. I examine how the psychological interacts with the social. My forthcoming work takes up issues concerning interpersonal disagreement, the normativity of attention, and ideology.
I came to Penn in 2022 from the University of Warwick, where I was an Associate Professor of Philosophy and the co-director of the Center for Research in Post-Kantian European Philosophy. Previously, I held postdoctoral and visiting positions at Columbia University, Sorbonne University, and the University of Saint-Louis in Brussels. In 2023-2024, I was a Humboldt Research Fellow at Freie Universität Berlin, working on a book project on the critical social philosophy of Frantz Fanon. I will be there again in Spring 2026.
I came to Penn in 2014 after a post-doc at Franklin & Marshall College and graduate school at the University of Nebraska and Princeton. I work in many areas of normative philosophy, from ethical theory to epistemology to aesthetics. I've written two monographs with Oxford University Press. The Importance of Being Rational appeared in 2018 and Knowing the Normative World: On the Epistemologies of Ethics and Aesthetics will appear in late 2025 or 2026.
