I am an Assistant Professor in the philosophy department at the University of Pennsylvania. During the 17-18 AY I will be a Marie S. Curie FCFP Junior Fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Study at the Albert-Ludwig-Universität Freiburg. In June 2013 I completed my PhD in philosophy at Princeton University. I was advised by Michael Smith and Thomas Kelly. For more on my academic heritage, see this page. Prior to starting at Penn, I was a post-doctoral researcher at Franklin & Marshall College. Before coming to Princeton, I received an MA from the philosophy department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Before going to the Great Plains, I graduated from Arizona State University with Bachelor of Arts degrees in philosophy and political science. My main interests are in ethical theory, epistemology, aesthetics, and the philosophy of action. Issues in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind are also intimately connected to my work. My dissertation was a systematic defense of the claim that what it is to be rational is to correctly respond to the normative reasons you possess. A substantially revised version is forthcoming from Oxford University Press. In 2016 Oxford University Press published Weighing Reasons, a collection I co-edited with Barry Maguire. For more information on both books, see the book page. To find out more about my work—past, present, and future—see this page. A CV (in pdf format) can be found by clicking on the button below.
