Internally, I am interested in how attention and emotion shape and structure our lives, with a special focus on mindfulness. My dissertation explores the moral dimensions of contemporary mindfulness, arguing that mindfulness has a valuable role to play in our moral lives (even for those who are not Buddhists).
Externally, I am interested in how we can redress structural injustices, with a focus on LGBTQ+ issues. My secondary research project explores the obligations of institutions and individuals to dismantle the subordination of LGBTQ+ people (particularly members of the trans community).
