I am a philosopher and an assistant professor at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Previously, I was a lecturer at Dartmouth College.

My research interests include the philosophy of sex and gender, the philosophy of biology, science and values, metaphysics, and metaphilosophy.

RESEARCH

My paper on “Sex and Gender” is out in the Routledge Handbook of Essence in Philosophy edited by Kathrin Koslicki and Michael J. Raven.

Read the preprint here.

TEACHING

I have a broad range of teaching competencies including the Philosophy of Science, Feminist Philosophy, Metaphysics, Moral Philosophy, the Philosophy of Mind, the Philosophy of Race, and the History of Philosophy.

TALKS

 

Here is a selection of talks I’ve given:

  • “Love as a Public Good” CUNY LaGuardia’s Undergraduate Philosophy Conference.

  • “Love in the Digital Age” Spare Rib’s Lecture Series at Dartmouth College.

  • “Sex on a Desert Island” APA Eastern Division, Society for the Metaphysics of Science.

  • “Sex without Baptism” New Perspectives on the Ontology of Social Identities at Bucknell University.

When I’m not doing philosophy, I take a good photo (one of my favorites seen above), enjoy abstract art, love a double espresso, and try not to fall off the Pilates Reformer. Photo of me: credit Mellissa Toma. Other photos are my own.

When I’m not doing philosophy, I take a good photo (one of my favourites seen above)—to see more of my layperson photography look here. I also enjoy a double espresso and abstract art and design.
