I am a Sawyier doctoral fellow with the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions at Illinois Institute of Technology and a PhD candidate in the Environmental Sciences, Studies, and Policy program (focal area Philosophy) at the University of Oregon. While at the University of Oregon, I have held teaching fellowships in the Environmental Studies Program, the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Sociology, and the Department of Religious Studies, as well as a research assistantship with the Department of Landscape Architecture.
I am an interdisciplinary researcher focused on applied ethics (animal, environmental, medical/public health), multispecies studies, and the environmental humanities. Of particular interest to me are ethical implications involving intersections between humans and other species in the contexts of urban environments, sanitation, development, and public health. I work between the traditions of American Pragmatism and Ecofeminism, with a focus on John Dewey and Val Plumwood. My PhD dissertation explores ethical questions arising from the lives of free-ranging street dogs in Cusco, Peru. For this project, I have conducted multispecies ethnographic field studies on location in Peru.
