I received my B.A. from Yale University in East Asian Studies and Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Michigan. Since 1994 I have taught at Wesleyan University, where I am now Mansfield Freeman Professor of East Asian Studies and Professor of Philosophy. I specialize in Confucianism and comparative philosophy; my research focuses on philosophy’s role in human rights, politics, and ethics both in East Asia and globally. I am currently finishing a co-edited book called “Progressive Confucianism and Its Critics: Dialogues from the Confucian Heartland.”
