My research is focused in epistemology and metaethics. My work develops a theory of agency and normativity that is wholly compatible with a commitment to naturalism.
In particular, some of my most recent and ongoing work defends a "collective" version of instrumentalism about the requirements of epistemic rationality. The view emphasizes the role played by epistemic communities, and their ends, in shaping the epistemic norms to which we are subject.
For the year 2023-2024, I'll be a Lecturer, part-time, in the Dept. of Philosophy at Tufts University.
