Research

I specialize in ethics, moral psychology, and the philosophy of action. My dissertation was on irony and morality. My current research focuses on an array of topics, including: anger, contentment, akrasia, the relationship between beneficence and aggregation, the value of collecting, G.E.M. Anscombe’s account of motives, and the difficulty of representing virtue as its own reward in games.

My article, “On Not Being ‘Worth It,’” recently appeared in Ergo.

My article, “The Virtues of Transparent Akrasia,” is forthcoming in Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility (vol. 9).

Teaching

In the fall of 2025, I am teaching an upper-level undergraduate course on love. Here are my teaching evaluations.
