My research investigates the mind at it's lower boundaries. Philosophical and scientific study of the mind often overemphasizes humans to a degree that unduly constrains how we think about our own minds as well as the minds of non-human animals. I focus on distant organisms, such as worms and bacteria—especially exploring the relationship between life, agency, and sentience—to better understand these simpler creatures and also to better understand ourselves.
