Area of interest: Philosophy of Mind, Moral Psychology, History of Philosophy

My current interests are focused on the moral and social cognition of human and artificial intelligences, and the collective agents formed when many of these minds are organized into cooperative structures. In the past, I have enjoyed studying Nietzsche’s moral psychology, Walter Benjamin’s aesthetics, and writing on how the cognitive science of belief effects agency and moral responsibility. I also have interests in political economy and feminist philosophy— more specifically, labor movements and the politics of masculinity.

Area of interest:  Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Cognitive Science

I’m primarily interested in questions about the mind. My current research focuses on how we identify a perceptual object. I draw on psychological theories of perception, attention, and action to explain the relevant mechanisms. More broadly, I’m interested in the relationship between philosophy and the empirical sciences, especially how empirical research can inform philosophy.
