I am currently an independent researcher, just having completed my PhD (2016). My research areas include: anthropocentrism, interspecies (nonhuman animal and environmental) ethics, ethics, global ethics, philosophy of sex, aesthetics, political philosophy, Hume, epistemology, skepticism, and history of philosophy. is on nonhuman ethics and anthropocentrism.
My PhD thesis presented a new, clarified definition of anthropocentrism, discussed anthropocentrism's justifications and problems it causes, and revealed how current interspecies ethics' theories involve anthropocentrism. I then put forward a less anthropocentric interspecies ethic based upon evolution, nonhuman morality, and empathy.
I am currently working on my first article publications. I have co-edited two volumes in interspecies ethics - Intervention or Protest: Acting for Nonhuman Animals (Vernon Press, 2016), and Ethical and Political Approaches to Nonhuman Animal Issues: Towards an Undivided Future (Palgrave, 2017) - as well as authoring the chapter 'Anthropocentrism and the Issues Facing Nonhuman Animals' in 'Animals in Human Society' by Daniel Moorehead (UPA, 2015).
