I am Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University. I have a broad range of research and teaching interests.

My most recent work focuses on Kant's raciology. This is represented in my new book Kant, Race, and Racism: Views from Somewhere (OUP, May 2023). It's a systematic investigation of Kant's scientific theory of race and his relation to racism. It marks a fundamental departure from the prevailing discourse on Kant and racism. It shows that all self-identified Kant/Kantian scholars have a unique burden to help undo the lasting legacies of Kant's raciology.
In the past, I worked extensively on Kant's philosophy of logic, which was also the subject of my dissertation (director: Henry Allison). My representative work in this area is my first book Kant and the Science of Logic (OUP, 2018). In addition, I've published papers on Kant's and some of his predecessors' work on metaphysics and philosophy of science (particularly the interaction between the two). This broad theoretical background helped me tremendously when I turned to the topic of race. It allowed me to read Kant holistically.
