About

I'm a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at King's College London, based at the Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics, Philosophy and Law. My primary interests lie in ethics, epistemology, and social & political philosophy. I am currently writing about the role of consent in our intimate lives and genealogical critiques of desire.

Previously I was the Stalnaker Postdoctoral Associate at MIT. I completed my PhD at the University of Michigan and my BA at Reed College. I'm originally from Long Island, NY.

I co-organize the Practical, the Political, and the Ethical series at the Institute of Philosophy, where I'm a research fellow, and I'm an Associate Editor at Analysis Reviews.
