I am Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Before that, I was a Faculty Fellow in Philosophy at NYU. I did my graduate work at Yale. I also enjoy writing about philosophy and other topics for a lay audience.

I make a tentative foray from metaphysics into ethics in my paper Altruism, Grief, and Identity.

I am the Post-doctoral Research Fellow on the project on Humility and Conviction in Public Life. At the Humanities Institute at the University of Connecticut. From 2015-2016, I was the Post-doctoral Fellow on the Public Discourse Project at the same institute. I spent the 2014-2015 academic year in the philosophy department at Northwestern University as a pre-doctoral fellow in their Mellon Sawyer Seminar entitled Theoretical Issues in Social Epistemology.
