My current research interests lie at the intersection of social epistemology, philosophy of science, and political philosophy. I am particularly interested in the complex and delicate relationship between experts, policymakers, and the public(s) in a democratic society. I am currently working on a book on public trust in science tentatively titled Public Trust in Science: A Social Approach. The book develops and defends the approach that I first sketched in my paper "It Takes A Village to Trust Science: Towards a (Thoroughly) Social Approach to Public Trust in Science."
On the side, I also write (and worry) about the corporate apocalypse and pursue some projects at the intersection of political philosophy and philosophy of economics (especially taxation, property rights, and the role of economics in public policy).
In a previous philosophical life, I have written about scientific models, scientific representation, the nature/identity of properties, dispositions, modality, composition, abstract-object fictionalism, and the scientific realism debate.
